Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes celebrated his milestone 250th match for the club in a dazzling display by scoring a spectacular solo goal against Leicester City on Sunday. Before the Premier League clash at Old Trafford, the Portugal international was honored with a framed shirt.
Fernandes showcased his skill by latching onto a back-heel pass from teammate Amad Diallo and elegantly curling a low shot past Leicester's goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen, in the 17th minute. He added a second goal in the 38th minute, a deflected shot off Victor Kristiansen, further amplifying the excitement among the home crowd.
The fans erupted with chants of "Bruno" as his teammates celebrated the feat. With 84 goals in all competitions since his transfer from Sporting Lisbon in 2020, Fernandes' performance was a fitting finale to interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy's unbeaten run, ahead of Ruben Amorim's tenure starting on Monday.
