Roy Keane has praised Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes' 'arrogance' after his fast start at the club since joining in January.

Fernandes signed for United from Sporting Lisbon for £62million and has already made a positive impact in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The 25-year-old has not crumbled under the United curse that has seen big names like Alexis Sanchez, Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao fail to live up to their billing after joining the Red Devils.

Fernandes joined in January for £62m but has taken no time to settle into life at Old Trafford

The former Manchester United captain applauded the Portuguese international for his attitude and performance levels.

'We often talk about players taking time to settle at a club - it's not taken him long has it?' Roy Keane told Sky Sports.

'He seems a very good personality. It's obviously a huge move for him, but he seems to be enjoying it. He's got a little bit of arrogance about him.'

Fernandes has quickly become a fan favourite with the United faithful, after a long time of flirting with a transfer before it was completed in January. A deal seemed to be struck last summer, but it fell through in the final days of the transfer window.

Keane believes he has brought leadership into the squad, but not in the conventional manner.

'He's brought leadership, but I think he's brought it in a different way,' added Keane.

'People talk about leadership in terms of making tackles, but he's just given everyone a lift, and that comes down to his quality.'

The midfielder was awarded the Premier League's Player of the Month award for February

Fernandes was awarded the Premier League's Player of the Month award for February - his first full month as a Manchester United player.

He has scored three goals and provided four assists from nine matches in all competitions for United and has quickly become a fans' favourite at Old Trafford.
