MANCHESTER UNITED captain Bruno Fernandes was spotted enjoying some time out with his wife and friends.

The 29-year-old was seen heading out of Juniper Restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with Ana and another couple on Thursday afternoon.

The midfielder and his male friend were dressed in all-black tracksuits, which included gray sneakers and a white T-shirt.

Wearing large white coats and blue denim, both partners maintained the ‘twinning’.

When Man Utd plays Coventry this weekend in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, Fernandes is expected to captain the team.

The midfielder has been an essential part of the Red Devils’ squad thus far this season.

In 42 games in all competitions, he has 12 goals and 9 assists.

Gary Lineker gave him high marks earlier this week for his contribution to the team.

“He is a very talented player,” the legend of England declared. It would be intriguing to witness him functioning in a well organized, productive team.

“I am not sure if he is a part of that, but he has not really had that at Manchester United.

“He is a wonderfully gifted footballer, there is no question about that.”

Fernandes played 120 minutes in a dramatic FA Cup quarterfinal at Old Trafford as United defeated Liverpool 4-3.

Before their encounter on Sunday, the Red Devils are concerned about several injuries.

Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia are all anticipated to miss the match.

However, a knee injury that kept Scott McTominay out of Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw the previous Saturday may allow him to return.
