Bruno Fernandes impresses Manchester United fans with cheeky tea bag trick shot

Manchester United star Bruno Fernande s took to Instagram to show he hasn't lost his magic touch during isolation.

The Portuguese midfielder transformed the Red Devils' season since joining from Sporting CP in January.

He scored twice and assisted three goals in just five Premier League outings as he took to the English game like a duck to water.

And it seems that the Portuguese's quality is not just limited to his on-the-field exploits.

In the video posted on his Instagram story, Fernandes can be seen in his house, dressed in Santa Claus pyjamas (yes, really...).

He holds up a tea bag with a confident look on his face, before dropping it on to his heel and looping it into his Lion King mug.

Once the feat is complete, Fernandes looks at the camera and shrugs - as if it was ever in doubt.

Fernandes is not the only player to take on the 'tea bag challenge' while stuck at home during lockdown.

Spurs' Harry Winks also completed his own version, while West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere also posted his own on his Instagram story.

Fernandes has been particularly active on social media throughout isolation, with a number of posts on his Instagram account.

Just days ago he announced to the world that he has a baby boy on the way, as well as showing off his new facial hair.

The Premier League is currently suspended until April 30 and remains under review.
