Man Utd: Are they over-reliant on Bruno Fernandes?
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has sung the praises of Raphinha ever since he moved to Old Trafford, according to Red Devils star Fred. Fernandes joined United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. He played the 2018/19 season alongside Raphinha at Sporting and built up a strong friendship off the pitch with the Brazilian.

“Bruno's been talking about Raphinha ever since he arrived. They played together at Sporting,” Fred told United's website.
“He's a great player having an amazing season and a lot of clubs have their eye on him. I met him recently, great guy, excellent player but... I hope he won't be lining up against us! [laughs]
“I wish him a quick recovery and a lot of success in his career. He's a stand-out star player for Leeds so, of course, it's better for us if he's not on the pitch.
“If he does play, we'll look to mark him carefully and work on our game-plan as best as possible. We'll try to nullify his threat to come out on top in this game.”
