Boavista reassure Man United Fernandes will return all guns blazing

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has joined Portuguese side Boavista for some additional training before heading back to Old Trafford to start pre-season.

The 26-year-old was given some time off to rest and recover following his Euro 2020 campaign with Portugal this summer. However, he has decided to work on his fitness and skills instead.

Fernandes has linked up with his boyhood club - who he spent eight years with as a child - to ensure he returns to England in his peak condition.

Boavista shared an Instagram post of Fernandes holding one of their match shirts, with the accompanying caption: 'He already has the magic shirt! Have your ordered yours?'.

Before posting a video of the midfielder in action at their training ground with the caption: 'Bruno Fernandes + Boavista FC - there is no love like the first.'

They also added: 'Don't worry Manchester United, he will arrive even better!'

The video captures Fernandes working through several drills, working on his footwork, speed and accuracy.

The midfielder - who has scored 40 goals for United since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 - was also seen practicing his shooting.

Fernandes will be eager to add to his tally next season and help Manchester United push for the title once again.

Jadon Sancho is set to become Fernandes' team-mate, with an announcement of the England star's £73million move from Borussia Dortmund to be confirmed soon.

Sancho could be joined by Raphael Varane, with United interested in signing the Real Madrid and France defender as a perfect partner for captain Harry Maguire.
