Bruno Fernandes Wins Hometown Award

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has received an award in his Portuguese hometown of Maia, according to Tribal Football.

The 26-year-old was given the Medal of Merit last week during his summer holidays.

Fernandes is resting after a long season with United and the Euro 2020 campaign with Portugal.

Major Antonio da Silva Tiago presented Fernandes with the award to recognise the way he has developed into a world class footballer.

Fernandes said: "Being a Mayan and being a proud person to have been born and raised here, being able to receive this medal means a lot to me.

"It means what I've been doing, in addition to the dreams I've conquered, also makes my land proud. I hope to continue to do so."
