has now been added to the Tempest Premier League portfolio. I've opposed United for most of the season but if you want to talk about great signings that can transform a team, then step forward Bruno Fernandes.

He’s been nothing short of sensational since he signed in January from Sporting Lisbon. I didn’t know much about him before he arrived but to have Roy Keane and Gary Neville singing your praises from day one you must be doing right.

His attitude is spot on. He leads with energy, excitement and quality, and he’s been the catalyst to a much-improved United side. Let’s remind ourselves: six wins from seven including a win at Stamford Bridge and the defeat of Manchester City.

If Paul Pogba thinks he’s getting back in the side as a number 10 then he’s got another thing coming. Pogba is generally a negative in the dressing room but I’m expecting even he’ll get on board now the team is winning.

With a fully-fit Marcus Rashford and a decent run-in of only Leicester, Spurs and Sheffield United still to play from the top half of the table, then 7/4 has to be a play.


Joe Townsend

 when all he needs to do is catch up three goals on Jamie Vardy in 10 matches, with a game in hand, I find incredible.

What makes it most enticing for me is the fact that the game in hand is first up, rather than buried in the midst of the clustered end to the campaign.

So come 2200 BST on Wednesday night, Aguero could quite easily be the division's top scorer already, and those odds would then be a distant memory. Even if he scores one then they will be long gone.

And Arsenal's defence hardly has a reputation for being watertight does it.

Aguero is the most likely player in Premier League history to be able to quickly close a three-goal deficit in the scoring charts, having bagged more hat-tricks (12) than anyone else. He is also one of only five players to have netted five times in the same game.

City's run-in is pretty mediocre too, playing six of the current bottom eight to finish the campaign.

With Aguero's 2019/20 Premier League strike-rate of a goal every 88 minutes - 29 minutes better than Vardy's - the Argentine might well fill his boots in those closing games.
