When Bruno Fernandes arrived at Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, he was hailed as the creative spark the club had been missing.

He quickly justified the hype with goals, assists and leadership on the pitch, becoming a driving force in Manchester United's midfield. It wasn't long before fans found their own way to celebrate him with a song, the Fernandes chant that reverberates across Old Trafford on matchdays.

The Fernandes chant is sung to the tune of ‘Twist and Shout' by The Beatles, making it instantly catchy and easy for fans to belt out in unison. It praises the player's talent, Portuguese flair, and his role as a talisman for United, providing supporters with a way to express both admiration and affection during matches.

The Fernandes chant, like many other popular Manchester United chants, spread beyond Old Trafford, into the pubs, living rooms and gatherings of supporters worldwide.
