Bruno Fernandes has been handed Manchester United’s No.8 shirt, which will see him follow in the footsteps of club legends.

“I guess I’ll have to wait for the number 8 another year…” Fernandes cheekily tweeted after Mata signed a new one-year deal in 2021.And after Mata told his midfield colleague to “be patient”, Fernandes has finally been handed the shirt he wore with Udinese, Sporting CP and the national team.The Portuguese midfielder added to the announcement when he posted a video of himself potting an eight-ball on social media.
And the 27-year-old is the latest in a long list of Man United legends to wear the No.8, including Sir Bobby Charlton, Ray Wilkins, Paul Ince, Nicky Butt, Wayne Rooney, and Mata.Offers Of The DayOpen account offer.
