Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has sparked concern among fans ahead of the Manchester derby against City, after being seen limping as he left Old Trafford last night. This occurred following the convincing 4-0 victory over Sabah in the team's Champions League return.
The Portuguese midfielder was filmed departing the stadium, accompanied by club staff, moving cautiously while waving to fans before heading home. Fernandes played the full 90 minutes in the Champions League match, showing no signs of discomfort during the game itself, suggesting any issue is likely minor. He even scored one of the goals.
Nevertheless, the footage understandably caused alarm among supporters, as United return to action this weekend to face eternal rivals Manchester City in the derby at Old Trafford. Given the stakes for local bragging rights, United will be desperately hoping Fernandes is fully fit and at his best.
