Bruno Fernandes 'has been talking about his former Sporting Lisbon team-mate Raphinha ever since he arrived' at Manchester United, reveals Fred... as he praises Leeds rival's 'amazing season'

Fred has revealed his Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes has been singing the praises of Leeds winger Raphinha ever since the Portuguese star arrived at Old Trafford.

Fernandes and Raphinha played together at Sporting Lisbon when the Brazilian spent the 2018/19 season in Portugal, and he clearly made an impact while he was there.

Ahead of United's clash with Leeds this weekend, Fred admitted it would be a big boost to his side if Raphinha misses out, with the winger a doubt due to injury.
