Bruno’s Hat-Trick Spectacle Dazzles Sociedad…
Manchester United’s former defender and unofficial hype man, Rio Ferdinand, is back on Bruno Fernandes patrol! After United kicked Real Sociedad to the curb with a zesty 4-1 win, Rio serenaded Fernandes, the captain, for quarterbacking his team to the Europa League quarters. The night kicked off with a hiccup as Mikel Oyarzabal pirouetted into a penalty and converted it like it was a free donut.
But fear not, for Rasmus Hojlund had a “foul” play in mind, earning United a penalty in return. Enter Bruno, stage left, to nail one for his dinner party notes. Another pass, another foul, another penalty – Fernandes fashioned a new tradition, making it two goals quicker than you can say “penalty piñata.” Ferdinand couldn’t resist the chorus, echoing his notorious “Bruno is our problem…” while winking at the virtual world.
The cherry on United’s red velvet cake came once Real Sociedad went down a man, leaving them playing duck-duck-goose with Jon Aramburu’s red card. Bruno casually tucked away his hat-trick ball, followed by a flourish from Diogo Dalot, taking the night’s score to la-la-land level. Next stop for United’s bouncing bus? Facing Lyon for a spicy semi-final slice, loaded with Bruno-style redemption toppings, of course.
