Bruno Fernandes hacked, posts force Manchester United to take action... | OneFootball

Sunday night was particularly tumultuous for Bruno Fernandes, who had already suffered a defeat in the FA Cup against Brighton at Old Trafford. Hours after that match, the former Sporting player's account on the social network X (formerly Twitter) was targeted by a cyberattack, a situation that led Manchester United to take precautionary measures.

Although some posts appeared to be harmless, one of the messages caused greater concern for the Red Devils. In one of the posts, the phrase “Let's get rid of INEOS” was written, referring to the group that holds part of the club's control.

Other messages ended up causing lighter reactions among users, with the attacker making ironic comments about the English cricket team, offering help, and jokingly announcing an alleged transfer of Bruno Fernandes to Macclesfield, the team that eliminated Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

There was also room for a mention of teammate Shea Lacey, who was bizarrely sent off against Brighton, with the Portuguese midfielder's profile responding to an apology from the young player, assuring that the matter was resolved as long as the situation did not repeat itself.

The posts were quickly removed, but not before generating widespread repercussions on social media, where the content spread and was recorded through shares and screenshots by various platform users and followers of Bruno Fernandes.
