Bruno Fernandes has surprised a Manchester United fan by video calling him, offering a shirt and inviting him to Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes is a fan favourite at Manchester United, and that reputation was reinforced by a touching recent interaction with a supporter who has been trying to get hold of his favourite player for a long, long time. After 300 days of sending him messages via Twitter, the fan received a surprise video call from Fernandes himself, in which he presented him with a unique shirt that can’t be bought at the club. Bruno also invited him down to Old Trafford for a game, saying “I appreciate everything. All the support you’ve been giving to me, for the club too.”
Blessed (@BlessedUtd) tweeted Fernandes on a consecutive streak of 300 days in a bid to try and acquire a signed shirt from our Portuguese Magnifico.

The midfielder has shown exactly why he is such a fan favourite at the club, as he has since made the effort to call the supporter.
In the video, Blessed says “this is a dream come true” and Fernandes responds “I hope one day I can see you in Old Trafford. I would like to invite you whenever you want.”
Blessed adds: “I wanna see you playing for us for many years to come, I should be able to witness you play there.”
A real touch of class from our vice captain.

After a period of slight stagnation as United faltered under Ralf Rangnick, Fernandes appears to be getting back to his best, led by Dutch boss Erik ten Hag. After securing an important trophy win in the Carabao Cup, Fernandes will continue to play a crucial role in the remainder of United’s season, as they push for a high league finish and victory in the FA Cup and Europa League.
