Bruno Fernandes says his stellar form since he arrived at Manchester United in January is not the only reason why the club's fortunes have improved on the pitch.

After an inconsistent first half of the season, United are unbeaten in the nine games Fernandes has featured in since his ?47 million ($58 million) move from Sporting Lisbon.

In the Premier League, United are unbeaten in five games and up to fifth place, firmly in the battle for Champions League places.

The midfielder has scored three goals and made four assists.

"I see the same team from one month ago," the Portugal international told Sky Sports.

"I think we are the same and have a lot of hunger to win, to give a lot, to do better and better in every game.

"In the last month, we've had a lot of really good games and I think we can talk about a new start after Bruno, but it's not about Bruno, it's about the team." The 25-year-old said he was a different player from his team-mates.

"Everyone has a different mould to play," he said.

"Maybe I take more risks, maybe other players don't take as many, maybe I shoot more, some players pass more, some of the players make more tackles, everyone is different in a club."
Asked about the incident, Fernandes said: "I talked about this with some friends. Some people think, 'Pep won everything, who is Bruno to do this to him?'
