Bruno Fernandes has had an unreal impact in his first 12 months at Manchester United - and his highlights show how he s lit up Old Trafford with his skills.
When the Portuguese playmaker joined at the end of January 2020, Man United were sixth in the Premier League table - a massive 37 points behind leaders Liverpool and below Sheffield United.
But in just 12 months, Fernandes has scored 28 goals, delivered 17 assists and totally revitalised the Red Devils attack with his leadership, link-up play and exceptional ability on the ball.
As the WBA try to get themselves out of another fine mess, Boxing News wonder if enough is enough on the podcast
THE World Boxing Association (WBA) have been making a mockery of themselves and the sport for several years. With the organisation recognising multiple champions per weight class, Alex Steedman and Matt Christie contemplate a better boxing world without them.
Canelo Alvarez joining up with the ever-ambitious Eddie Hearn for two fights is also discussed alongside reviews and previews of Stephen Fulton’s latest victory and Caleb Plant’s imminent outing.
Your choices for your favourite fights to watch on a rainy day are examined while Alex names his book of the week while Matt focuses on an old school cruiserweight classic.
One man who could really have a break out year in 2021 is 28-year-old Caleb Plant.
‘Sweet Hands’ only fought once in 2020, but starts this year as he hopes to go on with a third defence of his IBF Super Middleweight title.
Plant (20-0, KO12) puts his belt on the line against a former holder of the same title in Minnesota’s Caleb Truax (31-4-2, KO19), and the contest tops a Premier Boxing Champions bill.
Plant turned professional in 2014 under the wing of the notorious Al Haymon, and came to wider prominence in 2018, widely outscoring Rogelio Medina to earn a shot at the IBF title.
