Ronaldo backed for successful second Man Utd spell by Bale
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes was mobbed by a group of excited fans midway through Portugal's World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Tuesday. Play was halted in the game's closing stages as four individuals rushed onto the pitch from the stands and swarmed Fernandes in search of a photo.

In the 87th minute, the play was stopped when four fans invaded the pitch and made a bee-line for Fernandes.
Unsurprisingly, the midfield maestro didn't look impressed by the fiasco and initially tried to walk away from the pitch invaders.
The youthful fans quickly surrounded Fernandes, with one putting their arm around his shoulder, before pulling out a phone to take up the photo opportunity.
After getting the picture they wanted, all four individuals ran back into the stands to watch the remainder of the game - if they weren't escorted out of the stadium.

After helping Portugal to three wins from three games this month, Fernandes will be excited to return to Man United and link up with Ronaldo.
The 26-year-old netted a hat-trick against Leeds United on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
But he was quiet in the Red Devils' following two games at Southampton and Wolves and will be eyeing to contribute towards more goals in the month ahead.
