Following his two early goals, Bruno Fernandes was presented with a golden opportunity to bag a hat-trick on the night. However, the 26-year-old selflessly handed a penalty over to Marcus Rashford to put Manchester United 3-0 up on the night.

After the game, Bruno took to Instagram to celebrate his achievements after the match by uploading a photo of his with thumb in mouth.

That same night Bruno Fernandes’ Portugal compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo was on target for Juventus as they beat Ferencvaros 2-1 at home. Probably he could have heard about or seen Bruno Fernandes’ goal but the certain thing Ronaldo did was to give Fernandes thumbs up on the photo he shared on Instagram after the game.

Also, Fernandes’ Manchester United teammates Juan Mata and Alex Telles, along with thousands of his followers all liked the photo.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes has followed in Cristiano Ronaldo’s career path, as both players moved from Sporting to Manchester United at a point in their footballing career.

Since Fernandes moved to Old Trafford, no Manchester United midfielder has directly involved in goals more than him!
