Bruno Fernandes Impresses Roy Keane with World Cup Performance

Bruno Fernandes impressed Roy Keane with his World Cup performance, setting up Cristiano Ronaldo's goal against Uzbekistan.

The Manchester United captain slid the ball through the lines to allow Ronaldo to finish expertly into the far corner of the net.

Roy Keane branded Bruno Fernandes the best in the world at picking the right passes in transition.

The goal came after Roberto Martinez's side were already leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Rondlao and Nuno Mendes.

Keane's praise for the midfielder comes after he revealed earlier this month he had a 'lovely chat' with the United captain after a recent disagreement over the Premier League assist record.

Bruno Fernandes highlighted the incorrect statement by Keane on an appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast.

A chat then took place between the two with Keane confirming they had quashed the issue.

Keane said of Fernandes: “He is by far the best player in the world at that!”

The midfielder's performance has been impressive, with **11 assists** in the Premier League this season.

And his goal-setting ability has been praised by many, including Roy Keane.

But the Portuguese attacker's actual remarks were the opposite of what Keane claimed.

So the two had a chat to clear up the misunderstanding.

Keane joked: “He apologised, I forgave him, no problem, but no, it was a good chat.”

The two had a nice, mature conversation, which was lovely, according to Keane.
