EPL: Only Messi is better than Bruno Fernandes – Rio Ferdinand hails Man Utd star
Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has said only Lionel Messi is ahead of Bruno Fernandes in terms of creative abilities.
Ferdinand has highlighted that only Messi has had more goal involvement since Fernandes arrived at Old Trafford.
Despite not scoring or providing an assist in the 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest last weekend, the Portugal midfielder earned praise for his vision and the quality of passing.
“His passing, he’s creating chances. In his stats, only Messi rivals him in terms of goal involvement since he signed for United.
“I’m not saying he is on Messi’s level. He’s not, that’s obvious.
“But only Messi is above him in those stats,” Ferdinand said while speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube show.
