Bruno Fernandes receives a special gift upon reaching 100 goals for MU

At a cozy ceremony held at Carrington, Bruno Fernandes was presented with a special gift by Manchester United in recognition of his milestone of 100 goals scored for the Red Devils.

Football director Jason Wilcox, on behalf of the club, gave the Portuguese captain a commemorative painting. The event took place in the canteen of the Carrington training center, witnessed by the entire team and coaching staff. This was a well-deserved reward for the number 8 midfielder after he scored the opening goal in the 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend, making him the 23rd player in Manchester United’s history to reach 100 goals.

Besides its formality, the ceremony also included many humorous moments. Wilcox shared that Bruno even joked about wanting an additional gift to acknowledge all his assists before he offered words of praise: "This is just a small token to recognize Bruno’s contributions, our captain. As everyone knows, he has scored 100 goals for Manchester United, an extraordinary achievement. Bruno is the kind of captain who leads by example, serving as a shining role model for young players on what it takes to become a top star. He represents the club and his family excellently."

In response, Bruno expressed pride mixed with ambition to achieve more glory together with the team: "Clearly, I want to thank everyone from day one. The assists, goals, and penalties you’ve entrusted me to take have all contributed to this milestone. I am very happy and proud to have reached such a significant number."

The Portuguese star continued: "This wasn’t something I dreamed of as a child wanting to be a footballer, but it is certainly a privilege for me. I hope that along with this achievement, we will bring more trophies to the trophy room, because that is what truly matters."

During his five years at Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has established himself as a leader both on and off the pitch. His goals, assists, and ability to maintain fighting spirit have made him one of the club’s most important players. The 100-goal milestone is not only a personal recognition but also reflects his significant influence on the Red Devils’ style of play.

The club-wide congratulations concluded the ceremony, raising hopes that Bruno will continue his form to reach new milestones. His next challenge with the team will come in the upcoming away match at Brentford this weekend, where the Red Devils aim to keep pushing forward in the Premier League.
