However, Fernandes’s genius has not been proportionally rewarded this term. Compared to most of their top six rivals, the Red Devils have scored significantly fewer goals.
United only boast of a goal difference of 10. In comparison, table leaders Manchester City have a goal difference of 58.
Second-placed Arsenal enjoy a goal difference of 44 while Newcastle have 32.
One cannot help but think a world-class goalscorer would help Fernandes explode even more and increase his numbers. Against Wolverhampton, United missed many chances yet again. The team has been punished severely this term but luckily, they were not made to pay by Wolves.
