BRUNO FERNANDES has lightheartedly hit back at Nemanja Matic after the Serb revelled in his team’s victory in a Manchester United intra-squad friendly.
Posing alongside team-mates including Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Harry Maguire – Matic posted a celebratory snap following the victory.

And the 31-year-old decided to have a bit of fun with it – by winding up January signing Fernandes.
The photo also featured Diogo Dalot, Brandon Williams, Odion Ighalo, Jesse Lingard and Mason Greenwood.
And Matic captioned it: “Winning team 💪🏽 @brunofernandes.10 have a nice day 😉”.
In response Fernandes, who had been in blistering form prior to the coronavirus pandemic, had his own joke up his sleeve.
Hit hit back: “For once I let you win, because I need you happy for the Premier League”.
Rashford may well have had a big hand in the result, having cheekily hinted that he scored a hat-trick.
The United star replied to a fan who asked the England ace if rumours he had bagged three were true with two winking emojis.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were supposed to step up their preparations yesterday, with Championship side Stoke City coming to Carrington for a friendly match.
But with Potters stars having already arrived, the match was called off at the last minute due to manager Michael O’Neill testing positive for coronavirus.
United confirmed last night that none of their players had been put in danger, however, and that plans were still very much on course.
