Thierry Henry has claimed that Bruno Fernandes "killed" one of his Manchester United team-mates in the latter stages of their 3-1 home win over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday. The Arsenal legend has also coined a new nickname for Fernandes, who he believes has had an "outstanding" season for the Red Devils.Henry has bestowed a new moniker upon the Man Utd captain following his masterclass against Villa. Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, the Premier League icon dubbed the playmaker "Braino Fernandes," explaining that his impact on the pitch comes from his mental speed rather than just physical attributes.Fernandes' two assists against Villa took his tally to 16 for the season, a new club record for a single Premier League campaign. He is now chasing the all-time record of 20 assists in one season, a feat currently shared by Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.Henry was full of praise for the Portugal international and gave him a new nickname, saying: "If you can control the speed of your brain you’re going to be faster than anyone on the field and this is what this guy has in abundance."I’ve said it before, he doesn’t play football he thinks football. He did it so well again at the weekend. In the second half he was like the kid at school who’s better than everyone, he just got on the ball and passed it forward whenever he could. My name for him now is Braino Fernandes because this guy thinks on the pitch and I love it."Fernandes was also seen furiously berating young winger Amad Diallo late in the contest. Henry highlighted the incident as a sign of true leadership, noting that Fernandes remained demanding of his peers even with the game comfortably won."He wanted the ball [off Amad Diallo], he wanted the ball," Henry added. "He gets the ball after but he’s flat-footed by that point. He wanted the ball from Amad Diallo, not Manuel Ugarte, and I wanted to show that because this is at 3-1 with just a few minutes to go."He killed Amad Diallo for at least seven seconds! That’s just him, he will argue with his Dad or with anyone but he still finds a way. Even when he wins he’s like that, he demands excellence from himself and his teammates. For me, that’s a real leader. Look at him, he’s still going at Amad! He didn’t like it."Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingThe victory over Villa keeps Man Utd in third place in the table with 54 points from 30 matches, three points ahead of the Villans in fourth.
