Bruno Fernandes leads heartfelt Man Utd generosity to NRL superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen

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.
