Bruno Fernandes reveals hilarious nickname for Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay

Bruno Fernandes sent a comical message to Manchester United teammate Scott McTominay after the Scotland international returned to action after being sidelined through injury.

The 26-year-old has not played for Erik ten Hag's side since the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on January 22, with the midfielder having missed six matches through injury this season. While he was on the bench for the Carabao Cup second-leg win over Nottingham Forest, he had to wait until Sunday to get back onto the pitch.

McTominay came off the bench for the final 31 minutes of United's 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday afternoon - replacing Fred in the middle of the park. The Scotsman showed signs of rustiness, but his return to fitness comes as a major boost to Ten Hag, with Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek both out for an extended period of time.
