Bruno Fernandes has reached yet another milestone for Manchester United which underscores his importance to the Red Devils yet again.

Manchester United had failed to beat Spurs in their last seven games but earned a 2-0 victory to stay in control of fourth spot in the Premier League and make it four wins in a row under Michael Carrick.

While opinion was divided on the decision itself, Tottenham fans were left universally fuming following yet another red card for club captain Cristian Romero against Manchester United on Saturday.

The jury has been out on Alejandro Garnacho among Chelsea fans and pundits alike since the divisive 21-year-old swapped Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge in the summer, but recent performances have cranked up scrutiny levels.

Ruud Gullit has urged Joshua Zirkzee to end his Manchester United nightmare and return to Italy to salvage his career. The Dutch legend believes the forward made a massive error by moving to Old Trafford during a period of "bad energy" at the club.

Michael Carrick is getting the bulk of plaudits for Manchester United’s resurgence since he took charge, but there is another undeniable factor to consider when analysing the uplift in performances and results at Old Trafford.

And now, the powers that be in Saudi Arabia are conspiring to make sure his trophy drought in the Middle East extends to three-and-a-half seasons. Give the guy a break!...

Jones also reserved special praise for a rising Carrington star, labelling the youngster a "top, top player" for the future.
