A mix between Scholes and Veron' Man Utd 3-0 Watford
- Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Now then what about this for a comparison....?Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reckons that new signing Bruno Fernandes is a cross between former Old Trafford midfielders Paul Scholes and Juan Sebastian Veron.England international Scholes was a United academy graduate and scored 155 goals in 716 matches.While Argentine Veron, signed for ÂŁ28m in 2001 and made 82 appearances. Both were team-mates of former striker Solskjaer during the Norwegian's 11 years at the club under Sir Alex Ferguson."He felt like a presence in the group from the first minute, a bit of a mix between Scholes and Veron - the temperament of Veron and a lot of the quality of Scholesy," said Solskjaer.No pressure there eh Bruno!

Mindblowing and maddening. Definitely two words you can apply to Manchester United's Anthony Martial.He's collating some highlights reel isn't he. If you get chance just watch his goal on Sunday. Sublime.

Congested behind Chelsea
It's a little congested behind Chelsea now.You would still have to fancy Frank Lampard's side to finish fourth but Manchester United are among a clutch of teams who may have other ideas about that.

- Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images Where to start? What about Bruno.Not Frank but Fernandes. The midfielder is making quite an impression at Manchester United since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon and he scored his first goal for the club in a comfortable home win against relegation-threatened Watford on Sunday.

Good morning
Well what another great weekend of Premier League action.The odd smattering of brilliance, a bit of VAR controversy and some big results at both ends of the table.I’ll be honest I thought Chelsea had fourth spot sewn up a few weeks back but things are looking a tad tighter after Manchester United, Wolves and Arsenal all won on Sunday.
