Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes reveals son's admiration for Liverpool's Szoboszlai
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes shared an amusing story about his shock upon learning that his son idolises Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.
The historic rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool remains one of the most intense divides in global football. For the professionals playing for either side, these lines are typically absolute, yet the innocence of youth often pays little attention to tribal loyalties.
United captain Bruno Fernandes recently navigated this dilemma in his own household. Speaking on the Beast Mode On podcast, the Portuguese playmaker shared a humorous anecdote about a recent kickabout at home with his son.
Yesterday my son was playing football and he was telling me he was Szoboszlai. When he said Szoboszlai I was like; 'What?!' Bruno Fernandes
The realisation that his child looks up to Dominik Szoboszlai, a key figure for the Reds, provided a lighthearted moment for the United skipper. Beyond household banter, Fernandes also reflected on his recent achievement of surpassing Premier League assist records held by legends like Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Fernandes insisted that his primary motivation remains self-improvement rather than chasing individual records. He noted that he was happy to reach the milestone as it happened naturally as part of his game, but he continues to focus on being a better version of himself each season.
