After his exploits against Leicester City on Sunday where he scored as well as assisted, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes became a hero off the pitch as well when he rescued a fainting passenger on board of a plane.
According to reports, Fernandes who was on an EasyJet flight along with team-mate Diogo Dalot, flying to Lisbon on Monday to join up with the Portugal team for the international break, noticed a man was fainting at the back of the flight.
“Excuse me! We need help! Excuse me! We need help!’ the United player shouted for assistance and even made sure that the man was ok before making his way back to his seat.
“Bruno went to the loo at the back of the plane during the flight. (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,” Susanna Lawson, a passenger told Business Cloud as quoted by Mail Online.
“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,” she added.
Fernandes has been in red hot form for United, scoring in 3 of their last 4 games and assisting in 2 and he’ll be hoping to replicate these performances when he links up with his national team which is gearing up to face Poland in the Nations League on Saturday.
