Jose Mourinho said that he’d pick Giovani Lo Celso over Bruno Fernandes, which is a pretty thin fishing expedition on behalf of whoever asked the gaffer the question in the first place. Who tells their wife that they wished they’d married one of the bridesmaids instead?
At the risk of attracting the accusation that I’m making excuses for the boy Lo Celso, I’d say there are two distinct elements when comparing the two players, that disadvantage our Argentinian.
One, Manchester United have a very effective defensive midfield, and two, the Fernandes lad is thoroughgoing cheat. That’s not just my view, Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan called Fernandes out back in March.

Should Bruno Fernandes thrive in the Premier League, then his record will also show he was talented, but like Diego Costa, couldn’t lie straight in bed.
