Man Utd Fans Fume on Twitter After Bruno Fernandes Bags Hat-Trick of Assists for Sporting CP

A virtuoso performance from Sporting CP playmaker Bruno Fernandes has left Manchester United fans ruing the club's decision to abandon a summer move.

He set up all three of his side's goals in a 3-1 victory away to Portimonense on Sunday, with the Red Devils suffering a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford a day prior.

The Portuguese's current employers slapped a €70m price tag on his head as United made their interest known, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men eventually opted not to pursue a deal - instead sticking with the options already at their disposal.
