'This season': Pundit says 'brilliant' £31m Arsenal star is 100% better than Man United superstar

Pundit Darren Bent has claimed that Martin Odegaard has been better than Bruno Fernandes this season.

Alongside Manchester City vice-captain Kevin De Bruyne, the Arsenal captain is widely regarded as the most in-form midfielder in the Premier League.

While some Manchester United fans may disagree, pundit Darren Bent has no doubt that Martin Odegaard has been better than Bruno Fernandes.

Pundit Darren Bent says Odegaard has been better than Bruno Fernandes

The £30.8 million (Athletic) midfielder has been a joy to watch for Mikel Arteta’s side, registering an impressive 10 goals and seven assists in the league this season.

While the Portuguese international has looked far better than he did in the previous campaign, and has shown signs that he remains a world-class player.

In a discussion about the number of elite players Manchester United currently have, pundit Darren Bent refused to put Bruno Fernandes in that bracket, saying Martin Odegaard has been better than him.

“This season, he’s been okay”, he told talkSPORT. “I think there have been better players than him. Again, not being biased, Odegaard has been better than him. Come on Andy [Goldstein]!

“This is not lifetime achievement award. We’re talking about right now and Odegaard has been brilliant this season, which is why Arsenal are top.”

Last season as well, the former Real Madrid maestro was miles ahead of the ex-Sporting CP talisman, whose stock had fallen off a cliff.

And this campaign, pundit Darren Bent is right in saying that Martin Odegaard has been light years ahead of Bruno Fernandes.

In terms of both stats and his actual impact on the game, Odegaard is simply streets ahead of Fernandes.

While the latter has reached higher levels, as he did upon his arrival in the Premier League, currently, the Arsenal attacker is in another stratosphere to him.
