Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes spent Saturday night watching a central defender linked with a potential summer transfer to the club, a day after resuming training. Fernandes posted a notable update on social media that evening while following his former team, Sporting CP, in the Portuguese Super Cup. Although Fernandes joined Manchester United four and a half years ago, he still seems to hold a fondness for the Lisbon club. He spent the night watching the Portuguese equivalent of the Community Shield on television. Sporting, who had won the Primera Liga the previous season, faced a setback by losing the Portuguese Cup final 2-1 despite finishing ahead of Benfica and Porto. The two teams met again less than two months later, with another encounter scheduled at Wembley Stadium next Saturday. Fernandes shared a photo of his TV screen on Instagram as the match kicked off, using green and white heart emojis representing Sporting’s colors. This gesture underscores Fernandes’ ongoing attachment to Sporting CP. His support might intrigue Manchester United fans, given the club’s reported interest in the defender from that game.
