Bruno Fernandes sends Man Utd pal Paul Pogba cheeky warning ahead of Portugal vs France showdown at Euro 2020
BRUNO FERNANDES has fired a cheeky Euros warning at Manchester United team-mate Paul Pogba.
The pair are set to do battle at Euro 2020 next week, having both been drawn in Group F with their respective nations.
Pogba, 28, got his campaign with France off to a flyer last night, as Les Bleus defeated Germany 1-0 in Munich.
The midfielder’s performance earned him the man of the match award, a fact not unnoticed by Fernandes.
While watching Pogba’s post-match interview on TV Fernandes, 26, took to Instagram to stoke the friendly fire.
He wrote: “Happy for you, but MVP only today.”
Fernandes followed his message with the ‘eyes’ emoji, before tagging Pogba.
The attacking midfielder himself got off to a good start with defending champions Portugal, beating Hungary 3-0.
But it wasn’t all plain sailing.
Fernando Santos’ side took 84 minutes to break down the stubborn hosts in front of a raucous crowd in Budapest.
