And Mourinho, who is writing for The Sun this summer, wants the Red Devils creative genius to show up in Portugal's huge clash with France on Wednesday.

He said on "Portugal at its highest level can beat anyone.

"But we need to play with eleven players, in these two matches Bruno Fernandes was on the pitch but not playing.

"I hope he turns up against France, because he's a player with incredible potential.

"He can pass, he can score. He can get penalties, he can score penalties, he can score free-kicks.

"He has a lot to give, but the reality is in these two matches he was not there."

Reigning European champions Portugal beat Hungary in their opener before falling to defeat against Germany.
