The Portugal international has been Manchester United's best player this season and many have placed him in competition for the individual awards at the end of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side rely on him to produce the goods but he was unable to influence the game in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Fernandes created just one chance in the game, didn't manage a single shot on target or take-on and lost possession on 20 occasions - the most of any player involved in the game.

It continues a dismal run of games for the former Sporting CP man against the so-called "big six" this term. In seven Premier League games, he has scored just one goal and failed to register a single assist.
The goal was a penalty in a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Spurs back in October.
Does Bruno Fernandes even play against the big 6?
I mean we see his name on the squad sheet but on the field he's nowhere to be found♂️
Weird stuff.

This season we've played 810 minutes against the "Big 6"
Bruno Fernandes has been on the pitch for 730 of those
0 open play goals in that 730 minutes
In the time he wasn't on the pitch, we scored two open play goals.
Hope this helps
