Bruno Fernandes 'involved in a car crash with star escaping serious injury'

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has escaped serious injury after being involved in a car crash this morning, according to reports.

The Press Association claim that midfielder Fernandes, 27, emerged unscathed after an incident involving his Porsche - and he is expected to train as usual today.

It is said that all parties in the crash emerged unscathed.

United interim manager Ralf Rangnick will likely provide an update on the player's condition in his pre-match press conference this afternoon.

Fernandes' crash comes the day before his side play Liverpool in the Premier League.

He has been a crucial player for the club since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, having scored 49 goals in 120 total appearances.

Fernandes has been a key figure for United this season. He has made 40 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring nine and assisting 12.

Coach Ralf Rangnick will be hoping the 27-year-old is fit to feature in the away trip to Anfield this week.

Rangnick is already without Fred, Scott McTominay, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani for the meeting with Jurgen Klopp's team.

United are currently fifth in the Premier League and three points behind Tottenham, who occupy fourth place.
