January signings flourish

Manchester United’s signings have impacted the team MASSIVELY. Now the squad seems to have the liveliness they had under Sir Alex Ferguson. The arrival of Bruno Fernandes has immensely changed the mindset of the squad. There was an aura of panic in the Manchester United dressing room about whether Anthony Martial will be able to cope with the duty of center forward that Marcus Rashford had set high standards for.

Heavily anticipated attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes put pen to paper on the 30th of January 2020 and since then has scored 3 and assisted 3 in only 9 appearances to add to his phenomenal tally at Sporting Lisbon. To make up for the absence of Marcus Rashford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer loaned in Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. Though he was isolated for 2 weeks, he is in good form and has worked phenomenally to score 4 goals in 8 matches, including a brace against Derby county in the FA Cup. 

Man United have had a 65% increase in the number of goals scored after the arrival of Ighalo and Fernandes. 

Devam 8L says: “Before, Man United didn't have much confidence in attack that they used to have under Alex Ferguson. After the recent arrival of Ighalo and Fernandes, Manchester United have created much more chances and have boosted their confidence in attack.”

Manchester United's future (for at least the next 4 months) is in safe hands and hopefully, they will maintain this amazing form for years to come.
