I prefer free-kicks over penalties.The Portuguese playmaker has scored two free-kicks in his spell at United, while Ronaldo has scored just once from free-kicks in three years at Juventus.Speaking about his compatriot’s return, Fernandes said: What Cristiano has done in football for the last 15 years is something amazing, things that only he or Lionel Messi could reach.And Fernandes’ view on who will take what for United this season is echoes by former player Rio Ferdinand, with Bruno able to “see the bigger picture”.“I think Bruno gives up penalties but doesnt relinquish free-kicks and corners,” the former Red Devils defender said on his FIVE Youtube channel. “The free-kicks around the box, hes going to be on them I think. I think his record demands that he should do that.“He takes the penalties, 100 per cent. They agree to give him the penalties but I think free-kicks around the box, Brunos just wiping the ball and putting it down.“I think Bruno sees the bigger picture, that this guy can get us over the line to win us trophies.“If that means my percentage of goal involvements goes down but he gets his hands on a big trophy, hed take that all day long.”
