The 27-year-old recently posted an appeal on social media for supporters to nominate fellow fans, writing: “This pandemic has been a very difficult moment, and we’ve only been able to get to this point due to the exceptional work of some people. If you know any of them, tag them in the comments and write their story. I have two tickets to giveaway for Man United as a thank you.”
Fernandes was inundated with responses and it must have been hard to identify just one key worker to reward, but in the end it was United fan Tom George who got the pair of tickets.
