Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has been a subdued force around opposition penalty areas so far this season.

The Portuguese playmaker is yet to score and managed a single assist - at Southampton - in five Premier League appearances.

It is one of the reasons why United have struggled to turn opportunities into goals.

Manager Erik ten Hag is convinced Fernandes will soon be back to his best.

"He has proved so many years in the Premier League that he can create many chances," said Ten Hag.

"I am convinced this season he will do the same, he will respond and find his form. He is already creating chances but 100% he will make final passes and score goals. It鈥檚 just a matter of time."
