Bruno Fernandes: Man United talisman wins tight poll versus Bournemouth

Manchester United were involved in an emotional rollercoaster of a game last night against AFC Bournemouth.

In an incredibly rare game, United had the lead three times but managed to only net a 4-4 draw with the Cherries.

It was a jaw-dropping attacking display, but they also demonstrated defensive frailties that would make a school team blush.

Naturally, when The Peoples Person asked its readers to vote for player of the match, attackers dominated.

Bruno Fernandes

37% of fans felt that Bruno Fernandes was the best player on the pitch, and his statistics once again backed this up.

The Portuguese midfielder has been in outstanding form this season, and he scored a world-class free kick to bring the scores to 3-3.

Fernandes also has the most assists in the league at seven and was on the money again yesterday as Casemiro headed in his corner.

Matheus Cunha

The Brazilian has only recently come back from injury, but was incredibly lively versus Wolverhampton Wanderers last week and now Bournemouth.

He led the line as a false nine and almost spectacularly set up Bryan Mbeumo for what would have been a goal of the season contender, but the Cameroonian fired over.

Cunha drove his side forward in the second half in search of goals and grabbed United’s fourth, and just his second in a red shirt.

With Amad and Bryan Mbeumo going to the Africa Cup of Nations, Cunha will become even more important for the Red Devils over the Christmas period.

Amad

In a close third, Amad scored 28% of the vote.

The Ivorian was a live wire all evening and gave the Cherries’ full-back nightmares.

He scored the opening goal and showed everyone at Old Trafford what a miss he will be over the Christmas break as he goes on international duty.

Mason Mount

Since Halloween, the Englishman has been one of the club’s most consistent performers, and he led the charge brilliantly last night in the front press.

He has also found his scoring boots recently, with excellent strikes versus both Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Three percent of fans voted for another player in the United side.
