Fans create chant mocking Bruno Fernandes: "Your teeth are..." | OneFootball

Bruno Fernandes - who is close to renewing his contract - was one of the targets of Hull City fans during Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat on the opening matchday of the Premier League. The Portugal international, who took to the pitch wearing the captain’s armband, did not escape the provocation from the stands.

The fans took the opportunity to turn their attention to the former Sporting midfielder. In the stands, a chant aimed at the Portuguese player’s appearance then broke out: "Bruno Fernandes, your teeth are offside!" ("Bruno Fernandes, your teeth are offside!").

The taunt sparked laughs and reactions among fans on social media, becoming one of the most bizarre moments of a match in which almost everything went wrong for Michael Carrick’s side. United had arrived in Hull expecting to begin the league campaign with a win, but that did not happen.

On the pitch, the hosts went into the break already 2-0 up, leaving the visitors needing to chase the result. Despite having more possession, the Manchester side struggled to create clear chances and could not find a way to turn the match around.

In the 17th minute, from a corner, Semi Ajayi was in the right place to finish the rebound and open the scoring, after a stunning save by Lammens from a McBurnie shot. In the 38th minute, another set-piece and another blow. Nobel Mendy won the aerial duel and headed the ball into the back of the net.
