Bruno Fernandes expects abuse at Alvalade in UCL Sporting reunion | OneFootball

Bruno Fernandes will return to Alvalade to face Sporting in the Champions League, in what will be the first match of the Portuguese international’s career against the club he represented between 2017 and 2020. The clash between the Lions and Manchester United still has no set date, but it is already generating great anticipation.

The Red Devils midfielder reacted to the reunion on social media, taking the opportunity to joke with a friend who tagged him in an old photo taken at Sporting’s stadium. The post prompted a humorous message from the Manchester United captain.

In his reply, Bruno Fernandes anticipated what the atmosphere in the stands could be like when he steps onto the pitch again: “You’re going to insult each other a lot this time,” wrote the player, in a clear reference to how he may be received by his friend Tiago Carvalho.

It will be a special reunion, especially because Bruno Fernandes left a huge mark at Alvalade. The Portuguese international played 137 matches, scored 63 goals and provided 47 assists before leaving for Manchester United in January 2020.

. The league phase begins on September 8 and ends on January 27, with Sporting set to play four matches at Alvalade — including, of course, the clash with the Red Devils.
