Bruno Fernandes returns to Portugal after Manchester United debut

Fernandes returns to Portugal after United debut

Bruno Fernandes is spotted watching his former team Sporting Lisbon in action less than 24 hours after making his Manchester United debut.

New Manchester United attacker Bruno Fernandes was spotted watching his former team Sporting Lisbon in action less than 24 hours after making his debut for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The Red Devils recently completed the signing of the Portugal international, who joined the 20-time English champions on a contract until the summer of 2025.

Fernandes played the full 90 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday but could not inspire his new side to a victory as the two teams shared the points in a goalless draw.

The English giants are not back in action until February 17 when they travel to Chelsea, and Fernandes returned to Portugal on Sunday to watch Sporting in action.

Indeed, the attacker was pictured in the stands for Sunday's league clash with Braga, who ran out 1-0 winners courtesy of a late goal from soon-to-be Barcelona attacker Francisco Trincao.

United paid an initial £47m to secure the 25-year-old's services, but the deal could eventually rise to £68m due to various performance-based add-ons.
