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 one of the few that Man Utd fans have for a current player, which sums up how much he is loved by the fan base despite the chaos around him.
The Fernandes chant, like many other popular Manchester United chants, has spread beyond Old Trafford, into the pubs, living rooms and gatherings of supporters worldwide.

Makes defenders look like s***e,
He is our Portuguese magnifico
