Manchester United would be Premier League champions if the season had started from the day Bruno Fernandes arrived from Sporting CP.

Since Fernandes' signing, United have gone on a tremendous unbeaten run to finish third in the Premier League - four points clear of fifth-place Leicester City.

According to Socanalysis, Fernandes made such an impact that if the season started on the day he signed, United would have finished top of the league on 32 points from 14 games.

The Red Devils' closest rivals would have been Manchester City, who picked up 30 points from their final 14 matches.

Champions Liverpool, meanwhile, who took their foot off the gas after wrapping up the title, would have finished third on 29 points.
