WATCH: That's the Bruno Fernandes Man Utd need! Portugal star breaks deadlock against Iceland with sublime strike

Iceland were holding Portugal at 0-0 with half-time fast approaching in the Euro 2024 qualifying clash, only for Fernandes to pop up with a moment of brilliance to break the deadlock. He controlled a back-heel pass from Bernardo Silva out in front of him before unleashing a superb shot that flew into the far corner of the net, with Iceland goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson unable to get near the ball despite a full-stretch dive.

WATCH THE CLIP

Portugal were already safely through to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/euro-2024-qualified-teams/blt74fbb878d21df39d" target="_blank">next summer's European Championship</a>, having won all of their opening nine games in Group J. Fernandes is now up to six goals and seven assists in qualifying outings, and appears to be saving his best performances for the international stage. The 29-year-old midfielder has faced criticism for his performances at Manchester United this season, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/five-reasons-erik-ten-hag-not-right-manager-man-utd-forward/blt61a4ce64befce57f" target="_blank">Erik ten Hag's side having slipped way off the pace in the Premier League</a> - but supporters will hope he can transfer his form for Portugal back to his club ahead of a busy festive period.
