Bruno Fernandes sends brilliant message to Mason Mount after Manchester United transfer

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has sent a tongue-in-cheek message to Mason Mount on Instagram after the latter finalised his switch to Old Trafford.

United unveiled Mount as their first signing of this summer's transfer window on Wednesday morning, confirming that he had joined the club on a long-term contract. He has put pen to paper on a deal until the summer of 2028, with the option of an additional year.
