Bruno Fernandes Tells Fred And Alex Telles To Stop Messing Around In Training And Their Reaction Is Priceless

Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes was spotted having a stern word with teammates Fred and Alex Telles ahead of tonight's Europa League final against Villarreal - and their reactions are priceless.

Live footage of the club's training session at the Polsat Plus Arena in Gdansk, Poland, was broadcast online for fans to watch on Tuesday evening.

The likes of Amad Diallo and Donny van de Beek impressed during the session as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side try and secure their first piece of silverware in four years.

United players certainly looked in good spirits throughout, although one moment, in particular, led team leader Bruno Fernandes to hand out what appeared to be a timely reminder of the occasion.

The Portuguese midfielder watched on as Fred and Alex Telles performed some kind of Brazilian martial arts routine on the pitch, but he was having none of it.

After having a quick word, the pair looked at Fernandes - like a kid would after being told off by a parent - before resuming their normal training duties. The look on their faces is priceless.

A report in the Times about Fernandes from earlier this year proves exactly the kind of winning mentality United need to push on and claim more silverware.

After arriving at Carrington on the day he signed, Fernandes went through medical tests, signed his deal and then did a promotional shoot. He then turned to Solskjaer and asked "Can I train now?" before doing a session.

In fact, he could have chosen to spend the time celebrating his daughter's third birthday but instead wanted to 'get up to speed' ahead of his debut.

He continued to impress the next day when his new teammates joined him for training with one source telling the newspaper that the midfielder's desire to be at the heart of everything and demanding the ball from teammates 'gave everyone a lift.'

The impact Fernandes has had on this United team is undeniable. Can they lift the Europa League trophy on Wednesday night?
