Bruno Fernandes has become an indispensable figure at Manchester United since joining the club in January 2020. The Portuguese midfielder has not only been the team's most consistent performer, but he has also emerged as the driving force behind United's resurgence in recent years.

However, he drew the line when it came to questioning his dedication to Manchester United, a club he has been a part of since childhood.
