Bruno Fernandes has been sent an eerie warning by Portugal pal William Carvalho ahead of Manchester United’s Europa League tie against Real Betis.
The Red Devils travel to Spain for the first leg of their last-32 clash on Thursday night, with Fernandes set to be the star attraction.
The 25-year-old has been in sensational form since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, scoring 28 goals and providing 17 assists in all competitions.
Fernandes has been a key figure in United’s resurgence under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and his performances have earned him a place in the Portugal squad for the upcoming international break.
However, his international team-mate Carvalho has warned Fernandes that he will face a tough test against Betis, who are managed by former Barcelona and Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini.
Carvalho, who plays for Real Betis, said: “Bruno is a great player and he has been doing very well at Manchester United.
“But he will face a tough test against us. We have a great team and a great coach in Manuel Pellegrini.
“We are very motivated and we will do our best to win the game. We know it won’t be easy, but we are confident that we can get a good result.”
Carvalho’s warning should serve as a reminder to Fernandes that he will need to be at his best if United are to progress in the Europa League.
The Red Devils have been in good form in recent weeks, winning their last four games in all competitions, but they will face a stern test against a Betis side that has won four of their last five matches in La Liga.
Fernandes will be hoping to continue his impressive form against Betis, and he will be looking to add to his impressive tally of 28 goals and 17 assists in all competitions since joining United.
