Manchester United winger Dan James has hailed Bruno Fernandes, saying that the new signing is 'settling in great' at the club.
After lengthy negotiations, Fernandes finally joined United from Sporting Lisbon in a £68million move.
The midfielder was thrown into action in a goalless draw at home to Wolves, and James was impressed by Fernandes' performance.
James added that he wants to develop a 'bond' with Fernandes on the pitch.
James told the club's official website: 'Yeah he is settling in great. I know quite a few of the boys speak his language and he speaks great English as well. So I think as soon as he came in he put his stamp on the game and he showed what he is about in that last game, on his debut.
'He was great, with the balls he played in behind and, for me, if we can get that bond, especially playing it in behind, I think that will be great.'
United will hope that Fernandes will be able to make an instant impact, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side looking to start performing more consistently.
Currently eighth in the Premier League, United are six points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.
United are currently training in Spain as they prepare for the tests to come, which include a trip to face Chelsea on February 17.
