Bruno Fernandes further endeared himself to Manchester United fans with a tweet declaring the city red after Sunday’s derby win over rivals Manchester City.
The Portuguese has been an instant hit with the Old Trafford faithful, having hit the ground running since his January transfer from Sporting Lisbon.
The 25-year-old has three goals and three assists in eight games since his arrival and United are unbeaten in matches in which he has featured, a run that has seen them climb to within three points of the top four.
Fernandes teed-up Anthony Martial’s opener in Sunday’s win at Old Trafford before Scott McTominay sealed an excellent win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side with a stoppage time second to secure a 2-0 victory.
Afterwards, Fernandes employed his bragging rights on Twitter, while also aiming a cheeky dig at teammate Martial, suggesting the Frenchman had not been making the most of his creative talents.
“Manchester is red,” he wrote. “Finally you scored from my assist @AnthonyMartial. #MUFC.”
