Bruno Fernandes has been enjoying life in Portugal this weekend before joining the national team for upcoming Nations League matches.
The United star was on hand at Porto’s Bessa Stadium to watch Boavista record a shock 2-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon yesterday in the Portuguese League.

Portugal is set to play two Nations League matches in the coming days as it makes its final preparations for the World Cup in Qatar.
They will face the Czech Republic in Prague on Saturday before returning home to host Spain in Braga.
United teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot are also likely to feature, and Dalot is now almost certain to back Joao Cancelo as the country’s first choice at right-back.
The next World Cup will surely be Ronaldo’s last, so he will be desperate to have more games under his belt and take every opportunity to get fit for the tournament in November.
Portugal are one of the favorites to win the tournament, with an exceptionally strong line-up that includes United’s men plus City’s Cancelo, Bernardo and Ruben Dias along with the likes of Joao Felix, Diogo Jota, Andre Silva, Pepe, Renato Sanchez. and Rubén Neves, among others.
