Bruno Fernandes’ encounter with the fans after the game:
The Manchester United fans were in a cheery mood after their team defeated arch rivals Arsenal 3-2 at home. Some fans stayed late after the game singing chants and some left early so that they would not encounter any traffic.
A few lucky fans met Bruno Fernandes outside the ground while he was in his car. The Portuguese star stopped for them and 1 fan stated,” I don’t have you in fantasy Premiere League”.
To which Fernandes replied,” Who have you got then?”. The fan then said,” Mohamed Salah all the way. I am sorry he takes up all my fantasy money so I cannot buy you”.
Bruno funnily looks at the fan and then goes on to say,” Oh no!” and drives off laughing. The fan luckily captured the video of their conversation and posted it online where several football fans liked and commented under the post.
The conversation was in regards to the Fantasy Premier League that many fans play. The fan had taken Salah instead of Fernandes in his team because of the former’s insane form this season. Fernandes clearly did not like that and told the fan to keep him in the team instead of the Liverpool player.
The fan also argued that he could only have one of the 2 players so he chose Salah due to his goal-scoring form. This conversation between the fan and Bruno Fernandes was taken in a positive way by the fans and some even thought Bruno had a lot of banter.
Some fans even said that they would take Bruno in their team now due to his rise in confidence, the appointment of a new manager who likes playing attacking football and also because of favourable fixtures as compared to Manchester United’s main rivals, Liverpool.
