Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes met Melbourne Storm rugby league player Ryan Papenhuyzen on an Adidas tram shoot on Saturday.
Fernandes was therefore shocked to hear the full-back had suffered a fractured kneecap in a game against Canberra the following day and now faces surgery. After hearing of Papenhuyzen’s injury, Fernandes wanted to send him a message and arranged for him to attend the game against Crystal Palace, which United won 3-1.
Fernandes met Papenhuyzen after the game and presented him with the shirt he wore in the victory, the moment captured on the 24-year-old star's Instagram page. As well as giving him his shirt, Fernandes also invited Papenhuyzen to Old Trafford to watch United, whenever he can attend a game.
