Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes has spoken about the emotional moment he learned of his transfer to the Premier League club.
According to Fernandes, he was overwhelmed with joy when he received the news, and he immediately contacted his family members to share the news.
'When I received the call saying, 'Bruno, you have the chance to move to Manchester', I tell to my wife, I call my brother, I call my father, my mother and my sister, and I started crying you know!' Fernandes said in an Instagram Live interview.
However, Fernandes pointed out that he was initially scared to join world-class players in a big football club like United.
'I will say the truth. I was scared!' Fernandes said.
Despite his initial fears, Fernandes has thrived with Manchester United, scoring three goals and providing four assists in nine games across all competitions.
He was also named the Premier League's player of the month for February after an exceptional first month with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
Manchester United, who looked galvanised after the arrival of the playmaker, went on an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions before Covid-19 stopped sporting activity around the world.
On June 17, the Premier League will resume, with Manchester United currently sitting fifth in the standings.
