Jamie Redknapp believes Bruno Fernandes single-handedly transformed Manchester United into title contenders.

When asked what the difference between the United side that trailed 22 points behind Liverpool last season, to the United side who are equal on points with the champions this season, Redknapp gave a ‘simple answer’.   

‘Bruno Fernandes,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘I think that’s the simple answer, I won’t baffle you with science. 

‘I think since he’s come to the club he’s single handedly changed the mentality of it. The goals he’s scored, the assists he’s made. 

‘I’ve seen an attitude shift in the players because I think he demands such high standards.

He believes Fernandes is also responsible for changing the ‘mentality’ of the club as a whole 

‘I think when he plays well, when he scores United play well. It’s as simple as that. He’s changed players around him.

‘Before he came you feared for Ole. I mean you feared for him earlier on in the season when he lost 1-0 at Arsenal. I did the game and I thought he’s running out of time here but he’s turned it around. 

‘He’s had some bad results in the cup but their league form has been tremendous. So you have to credit him for that, but one man has changed that.

‘When you talk about the 22 points, that’s been Bruno Fernandes.’
