Man United star Bruno Fernandes makes Leeds United's admission ahead of new season

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Leeds United's Elland Road is his favourite ground in the Premier League.

However, Fernandes' love for playing at Elland Road isn't due to the stadium or the atmosphere, it's because of his sensational record against the Whites. The Portuguese has scored six goals and provided two assists in his four appearances against Leeds. Fernandes has scored more goals against Leeds than against any other team in his career.

The 27-year-old's first visit to Elland Road ended in a goalless draw, but Fernandes enjoyed his trip to Yorkshire in February, scoring and assisting in the Red Devils' 4-2 victory. Fernandes scored to put his side 2-0 ahead in that game, before setting up Anthony Elanga to wrap the game up.

The Portugal international scored a brace in his first meeting with Leeds in 2020, with Manchester United winning the game 6-2, while he scored a hat-trick against the Whites on the first day of last season.

"I know it is a big one for the fans and I have scored loads of goals against Leeds," said Fernandes at United's away kit unveiling when asked about his favourite away day.

Leeds will be looking to stop Fernandes when Manchester United travel to Elland Road on February 11. The Whites make the trip to Old Trafford on Sunday, September 18, in a game which surprisingly hasn't been selected for live TV coverage.
