Bruno Fernandes trolls Kobbie Mainoo after Man United training ground development

Man United captain Bruno Fernandes has taken to social media to poke fun at young star Kobbie Mainoo after their recent training session.

New manager Ruben Amorim led his first training session at Carrington on Monday (November 18), focusing on introducing his preferred 3-4-3 formation to the squad.

Fernandes, 30, returned from international duty on Wednesday (November 20) and will undoubtedly be a key player for Amorim just as he was for predecessor Erik ten Hag.

The attacking midfielder isn’t the only player to return to the fold, wonderkid Mainoo, 19, is back in first-team training after picking up a muscle injury earlier in the season.

Fernandes has found some form since Ten Hag’s departure, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the four games under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Morale at the club already seems to have improved under Amorim with Fernandes taking to Instagram to joke with Mainoo about their most recent session.

With only a week to prepare his new squad ahead of their Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Sunday (November 24), Amorim will need the likes of Fernandes to lead by example.
