Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes made headlines for his brilliant performance against Leicester City on Sunday. With his direct involvement in two goals in their 3-0 win, the Portuguese was lauded by fans for his performance.
However, the player has managed to attract praise for his actions off the pitch as well. Both Fernandes and Diogo Dalot were on an EasyJet flight to Lisbon to join the rest of the Portuguese squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures.
On the flight, the United skipper noticed a passenger in distress on his way to the washroom. Quickly discerning that the man was about to faint, Fernandes reportedly called out for help.
