BRUNO FERNANDES has corrected fans and pundits alike on how to pronounce his name.
The Portuguese ace has become a household name since making his move to Manchester United in January 2020.
All this time, however, most have been saying “Fernandes” incorrectly.
Many have pronounced it “Fer-nan-des”, sounding it out as if it were an English word.
But in a new video produced by the Premier League, the 29-year-old has put people right.
In a clip also featuring the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Kevin De Bruyne, Dejan Kulusevski and Kaoru Mitoma – stars from overseas clearly said their names authentically.

While Fernandes’ Red Devils team-mates Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund also got involved.
Man Utd skipper Fernandes revealed that his full name is pronounced “Bru-no Fer-nanj”.
Fans were left stunned after the Premier League posted their clip.
One responded: “My whole life was a lie.”

While a second asked: “WHAT DID BRUNO SAY??????”
Another added: “No Man United fan knew how to pronounce their Garnacho and Fernandes according to the players themselves.”
Garnacho, 19, pronounced his name “Ale-handro har-na-cho”.
While Hojlund said: “Razz-mus Hoy-lun”.
Fernandes has been in action for his country during the international break.
The attacking midfielder played 67 minutes of Portugal’s 2-0 win over Liechtenstein last Thursday.
On Sunday he then scored and played the full 90 as his side beat Iceland 2-0 at home.
