He was working out with the Manchester United team as they attempted to turn around a season that was quickly going south, however it was somewhat turned around with the FA Cup victory in the season's penultimate match.

The stories are always interesting when Manchester United is involved, and Lewis has now shared what goes on behind the scenes at Carrington, including the player he describes as the "hardest worker" he has ever seen.

Joe Lewis on the hardest worker at Manchester United

Lewis revealed details about the Carrington environment from the previous season, as well as the traits of players who caught him off guard, in an interview with the Manchester Evening News.

Along with the guy whose skill he considered "unbelievable," it featured the player who stood out in every training session and was the "hardest worker" he had ever seen.

The majority of United supporters would likely correctly identify that player if asked to guess, as it is occasionally the case that the most obvious response is the correct one.

In this instance, Bruno Fernandes was the subject of Lewis's glowing remarks during the interview; Fernandes impressed Lewis with both his technical aptitude and leadership qualities.

Regarding Fernandes, he stated, "He's just a really good guy and he'd lead by example in training." He would spend time with me, a stranger who was merely a goalkeeper in training, and we would have lunch together.

Bruno is an extremely skilled player and a pretty good leader, but he didn't need to do that with me. He has incredible technique and a right foot that is like a wand.

"There are many hard workers at United, but he is the hardest worker I have ever seen." He practices his first touch and shooting every day, spending more time in the gym than any other player in the team.

Bruno Fernandes serves as the standard.

If it wasn't obvious already, Joe Lewis' remarks emphasize the point—that Bruno Fernandes is the model professional—that is now all but certain.

Fernandes' contract extension, which puts him on par with the club's highest earners, is an indication from Ineos that they now have a standard for what they demand from United players.

Even while the Portuguese has exceptional skills on the ball, they are hardly the most remarkable aspect of him.

What sets him apart from the rest of the pack are intangibles like dedication, perseverance, and a willingness to go above and beyond for the team, which is what the rest of the squad should strive for.

If the guy who has contributed the most goals to United since his arrival trains longer than any other player, then there is no justification for underachievers to take it easy.

The new United era needs to strive for that cultural reset, and Bruno Fernandes is the standard in that regard.
