BRUNO FERNANDES RUSHES TO AID PASSENGER  

Manchester United soccer club’s captain Bruno Fernandes was quick to lend a hand to a fellow passenger who collapsed on a flight to Lisbon on Monday, November 11.

Returning to his native Portugal after a stellar weekend performance against Leicester City, where he scored one goal and assisted two others in a 3-0 victory, Fernandes responded to a call for help mid-flight.

According to Susanna Lawson, a witness on board, the Manchester United captain stepped up without hesitation when a man showed signs of distress near the plane’s restroom. “Bruno was holding a gentleman who looked like he was passing out,” Lawson shared. Fernandes stayed with the passenger, ensuring he was comfortable and stable until the situation improved.  

Fernandes was en route to join Portugal’s national team for their upcoming Nations League matches, facing Poland on Friday and Croatia on Nov. 18.
