""That was my first memory of the Portugal team playing. I shouldn't say this, but when England lost on penalties, I was in my grandma's house with my cousins. We ran outside in the streets screaming.""
""I was in hospital, in a Portuguese hospital, still in my England kit, watching on a little TV.""
"Rooney is the club's record goalscorer with 253. Fernandes, by common consent, has had the greatest impact of any of the club's signings since Ferguson retired.""
"If he claims three assists in the final five games of the season, he will break the record of 20 for the most in any single Premier League campaign."
Wayne Rooney and Bruno Fernandes have never played together but faced each other in a memorable FA Cup match in March 2020. Both players have served as captains and inspirations for Manchester United. Their connection dates back to Euro 2004, where Rooney's injury led to England's loss to Portugal, a moment Fernandes vividly remembers. They have made a combined 881 appearances for United, with Rooney as the club's record goalscorer and Fernandes having a significant impact since Ferguson's retirement. Fernandes is on track to break the Premier League assist record.
