Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes makes huge Leeds United claim - but Rashford and Sancho disagree

The 27-year-old has a fantastic track record against the Whites, having scored more goals against the West Yorkshire side than any other team he’s faced.

In four encounters, Fernandes has put a whopping six goals past United ‘keeper Illan Meslier, as well as grabbing a pair of assists.

In his first meeting with Leeds, Fernandes had a hand in half of the goals as the Whites fell to a 6-2 defeat to their old rivals in a behind-closed-doors fixture in December 2020.

Th second time around, he found no such luck as the Manchester side drew a blank with a goalless draw in Fernandes’ first trip to Elland Road in April 2021.

In LS11 last season, the Reds rediscovered their shooting boots and Fernandes was responsible, once again, for half of the goals as Ralf Rangnick’s side inflicted a 4-2 defeat on Leeds.

It comes as no surprise, then, that Fernandes is eyeing up another Elland Road visit as he looks ahead to the new Premier League season.

At the launch of Manchester United’s new away kit, a trio of Reds stars were invited to share at which fixture they were most looking forward to wearing it.

While Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford agreed that the derby game at Premier League holders Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium was their most-anticipated away trip, Fernandes produced a different answer.

“I know it is a big one for the fans,” he said, “and I have scored loads of goals against them.”

"So, Leeds.”
