A passenger that was on board an Easyjet flight from Manchester to Lisbon has praised Bruno Fernandes for helping a fellow traveller during a mid-air emergency.

Susanna Lawson, the founder of EdTech OneFile, was heading to Web Summit – a conference where Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada will attend – when a gentleman fell ill as they made their way to Portugal's capital.

Fernandes, who was travelling with teammate Diogo Dalot ahead of Portugal's game against Poland, sprung into action and shouted urgently for assistance. He said: "Excuse me! We need help! Excuse me! We need help!"

Lawson detailed the incident in an interview with Business Cloud.

"Bruno went to the loo at the back of the plane during the flight," she recalled. "(We) suddenly heard a shout for assistance which those within hearing distance looked back, including us as we were toward the back.

"Members of the crew rushed to the back to help. There was a spare seat at the back which Bruno helped the gentleman to sit down on. He stayed at the back with them and made sure he was OK."

She added: "It might have been about 5-10 minutes and then he made his way back to his seat but again very unassuming. He wasn’t looking for any attention on himself."

After the plane touched down in Lisbon, Lawson and her colleagues approached Fernandes.

“He was very unassuming," she said. "Unless you knew who he was you would never have known he was anyone special if you know what I mean. We were not sure whether to ask him for a selfie because of that. He didn’t mention Man Utd at all.”

She eventually asked the Portuguese midfielder for a picture.

"When I asked him politely for a selfie as we were leaving the plane he was absolutely lovely and actually took the selfie himself," she added. “I praised him for looking after the ill passenger. Honestly if you didn’t know who he was you would have just thought he was any other passenger.”
