Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes dons tracksuit as he heads to swanky restaurant for lunch with wife Ana and pals
MANCHESTER UNITED captain Bruno Fernandes was spotted enjoying some time out with his wife and friends.
The 29-year-old was seen heading out of Juniper Restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with Ana and another couple on Thursday afternoon.
The midfielder and his male pal wore an all-black tracksuit, complete with white T-shirt and grey trainers.
Both partners kept the ‘twinning’ alive with big white coats and blue jeans.
Fernandes is set to captain Man Utd at Wembley this weekend when they face Coventry in an FA Cup semi-final.
The midfielder has been an integral player for the Red Devils so far this season.
In 42 appearances across all competitions he has scored 12 goals and provided nine assists.
Gary Lineker heaped praise on him earlier this week for his influence in the squad.
The England legend said: “He’s a very talented player. It would be interesting to see him in a team that was really structured and going well and successful.
“He’s not had that really at Man Utd, whether he’s part and parcel of that I don’t know.

Man Utd are LUCKY to be seventh in the table... one particular stat is terrible, say Dave Kidd
By Dave Kidd
THE frightening thing about Manchester United’s season is that they should really be LOWER than seventh in the Premier League.
Even during their current run of one win in seven league matches, United’s results have been better than their performances.
Erik ten Hag’s team deserved to lose each of their last three drawn games against Brentford, Liverpool and Bournemouth.
On goal difference, United are ninth in the league, while only seven teams have scored fewer than their 47 goals.
And if we give any credence to ‘expected points’, then that stat would have them 15th in the table.
If Ten Hag’s men lose Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final to Championship side Coventry, it should not come as a major surprise.

“He’s a wonderfully gifted footballer, there’s no question about that.”
Fernandes played 120 minutes as United beat Liverpool 4-3 in a dramatic FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils approach Sunday’s match with several injury concerns.
Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial and Tyrell Malacia are all set to be absent.
However, Scott McTominay could return after missing last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth with a knee issue.
