Injury scare: Bruno Fernandes spotted limping after Champions League win

Manchester United's 4-0 Champions League victory over Sabah FK was marred by concerns regarding captain Bruno Fernandes. After the final whistle, the midfielder was spotted leaving the stadium alongside medical staff, moving with visible discomfort.

Viral social media footage showed the 32-year-old favoring one leg as he made his way out of Old Trafford. The sight has left supporters anxious ahead of the high-stakes Manchester derby against Manchester City this coming weekend.

Manager Michael Carrick opted to focus on the team's clinical performance, which saw goals from Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Lisandro Martinez. Carrick highlighted the importance of the clean sheet and the tactical progress he is seeing from his squad.

We’re always pushing for more. Results-wise, it hasn’t been the start we wanted. We wanted to have more points in the league but performance-wise there’s a lot of things in there that we were looking for. Michael Carrick

Notably, Fernandes completed the full 90 minutes of the match without appearing to struggle, which suggests the limp might be a minor knock rather than a significant injury.

With United having secured only four points from their opening three Premier League fixtures, the derby represents a pivotal moment in their campaign. Should Fernandes be forced to sit out, the creative load will likely shift to Kobbie Mainoo and Youri Tielemans, both of whom delivered strong performances in the European tie.
