BRUNO FERNANDES revealed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the “most important thing” in his decision to sign for Manchester United.
The Portuguese midfielder moved to Old Trafford in a £55million January switch and hit the ground running upon arrival.
And speaking to United’s official website, the 25-year-old paid tribute to Solskjaer’s influence on the deal.
Fernandes said: “For me, the most important thing was obviously the confidence of the coach.
“I need to know I am backed from the coach, because sometimes when you change club, not every time the coach wants you.
“Not like I need to come because the coach wants me to play, no, not like this, but I want to feel the confidence from the coach.
“If he has confidence in me, then the rest is working.
“I need to work to conquer my place, to play, to keep going with games and games and games.
“For me this is the most important.”
Earlier this week, Fernandes revealed his coronavirus lockdown regime and vowed to be back scoring soon.
And the ex-Sporting Lisbon man also explained how he bought his teammates custom PS4 controllers in order to bond with them.
