Our no.8 teed up Rasmus Hojlund for the clincher against the Blades and it was his corner that was headed home by Harry Maguire against the Sky Blues last Sunday.

Opta have analysed his contribution in this area and confirmed Fernandes stands alone when it comes to creating chances – his next one, hopefully against Burnley on Saturday, will be his 100th of the Premier League campaign.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is next best, some eight behind, while it is encouraging to see a former United Academy graduate also on the list, in the shape of Fulham’s Andreas.
