In-form Manchester United have a chance to draw level on points with Manchester City with a midweek Premier League home clash against struggling Leeds, and Bruno Fernandes could be the man to hit the back of the net for the Red Devils as the Portuguse midfielder has a cracking scoring record when facing Leeds.
Fernandes Fired in a Hat-Trick In Last Season’s Repeat Fixture
Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes is having a top season, with 12 goals in all competitions, and this Wednesday there is every chance he’ll be adding to that record against Leeds – a club he fired in a hat-trick against in this fixture last term.
For whatever reason there are just some clubs that certain players seem to like playing against and for Bruno Fernandes, Leeds United is certainly one of those.
The 13-time Premier League winners, Man United thumped Leeds 5-1 last season and that mauling was mainly due to a Fernandes three-timer, with one of the goals also the first of the game.
Bruno Fernandes Has Netted SIX Goals in United’s Last Four Games Against Leeds
Oh, and the Fernandes hat-trick wasn’t the only match he scored in recently against Leeds. He also netted in Manchester United’s 4-2 away win at Elland Road the last time the sides faced-off last February and, in this repeat clash in the 2020/21 season, he also managed to get a brace.
Yes, there was a 0-0 draw at Elland Road in the league two seasons ago (2021), but this still takes the Fernandes tally of goals, when facing Leeds United, to SIX goals in the last four head-to-heads.
