BRUNO FERNANDES provided a boost to Manchester United as he was spotted heading for the flight to London ahead of their clash at Tottenham.
Boss Erik ten Hag revealed yesterday his hope that the star WOULD be fit for the showdown.
With both clubs vying for a top four spot, the Portuguese midfielder will be key to the Red Devils; chances of victory at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fernandes hobbled out of Wembley with an ankle injury after being subbed in extra-time during their semi-final win against Brighton on Sunday.
The alarm was then raised when his wife posted a picture of the Portuguese ace with his foot bandaged up and a protective boot and crutches next to him.
But United boss Ten Hag calmed fears of a major problem and said it was just precautionary as he revealed that he could make it for tonight’s encounter.

And now it seems that the 28-year-old is ready for action after he was seen leaving for the airport alongside his team-mates this morning after the manager opted to fly on the day of the game instead of their usual overnight stay.
Decked out in a club tracksuit and hoodie, the ex-Sporting Lisbon ace appeared to have ditched the strapping as he boarded the coach to the airport.
United bounced back from a 3-0 thumping in Seville to exit the Europa League with that penalty shoot-out victory over Brighton to reach the FA Cup Final.
And Ten Hag has warned that they have to prepare for the same with Spurs ‘mad’ after their 6-1 humbling to Newcastle at St James’ Park.

He said: “It’s obvious they had a really bad defeat, of course, they are mad, that can be fuel for bounce backing. It’s about us, an opponent can never be more hungry than us.
“That is how we have to prepare the game and make sure we go front foot, be dominant and dictate the game.”
