Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes bagged another assist after he came to the rescue of a stricken passenger while on an easyJet flight to Lisbon.
The Portuguese footballer was travelling from Manchester to Lisbon with team-mate Diogo Dalot on Monday when he noticed a man appeared to be passing out at the back of the plane.
Fernandes shouted urgently for assistance: ‘Excuse me! We need help! Excuse me! We need help!’
‘Bruno went to the loo at the back of the plane during the flight,’ passenger Susanna Lawson told Business Cloud.
‘(We) suddenly heard a shout for assistance which those within hearing distance looked back, including us as we were toward the back.
‘Members of the crew rushed to the back to help. There was a spare seat at the back which Bruno helped the gentleman to sit down on.
‘He stayed at the back with them and made sure he was OK.
‘It might have been about 5-10 minutes and then he made his way back to his seat but again very unassuming. He wasn’t looking for any attention on himself.’
Fernandes is said to have been keeping a low profile for the trip alongside Dalot as the pair prepare to play for Portugal against Poland on Friday.
But he has been widely praised for springing in to action to help his stricken fellow traveller.
‘When I asked him politely for a selfie as we were leaving the plane he was absolutely lovely and actually took the selfie himself,’ Lawson, who was part of a group heading out to Web Summit, a conference where Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada will speak on Tuesday, added.
‘I praised him for looking after the ill passenger. Honestly if you didn’t know who he was you would have just thought he was any other passenger.’
It has been a very busy week for Fernandes, with Sunday bringing his 250th appearance for Manchester United, and Monday delivering an honour at the Quinas De Ouro awards.

Great personality he showed and great persons always give selfless services to those in need like he did. That's really a great character because anyone of us can fall a victim of such. Always remember to be kind and ready to assist regardless who the individual is.
