When Fernandes returns to Carrington for pre-season, World Cup champion or not, he will come back to a Manchester United side that does not stringently rely on one way of playing; it is fluid. It can be trusted to fight from behind and maintain healthy leads.

That ability to instil faith will not win titles alone, but adapting to games in the moment may well propel United to heights it has not seen since Ferguson’s multi-decade tenure.
