Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese star of Manchester United, has taken the opportunity to correct fans and pundits on the proper pronunciation of his name. Despite becoming a household name since joining the club in January 2020, it seems most people have been saying "Fernandes" incorrectly. In a new video produced by the Premier League, the 29-year-old set the record straight.

Getting It Right

The Premier League video features not only Bruno Fernandes but also other overseas stars such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Kevin De Bruyne, Dejan Kulusevski, Kaoru Mitoma, and Fernandes' Manchester United teammates Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund. Each player pronounces their name authentically, providing fans with the correct way to say them.

Bru-no Fer-nanj

In the video, Bruno Fernandes reveals that his full name is pronounced "Bru-no Fer-nanj." Fans were left stunned by this revelation, with one admitting, "My whole life was a lie." Another fan asked, "What did Bruno say??????" It seems even some Manchester United fans were unaware of how to pronounce their own players' names according to the players themselves.

International Action

While fans were busy learning the correct pronunciation of his name, Bruno Fernandes has been representing Portugal during the international break. He played 67 minutes in Portugal's 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein and scored a goal while playing the full 90 minutes in their 2-0 win against Iceland at home. The midfielder has been a key player for both club and country.
