DRAMATIC pictures show Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes’ smashed-up Porsche after he was involved in a car crash today.
The Portuguese international, 27, was travelling to training this morning when the horror unfolded.
It is understood Fernandes was not seriously injured and still joined his teammates at Man Utd’s training ground, Carrington.
He was later given a lift home by Juan Mata.
Dramatic pictures show the midfielder’s £94,000 electric Porsche Panamera shattered on the driver’s side.
A second car can be seen with the driver’s door hanging open with debris scattered across the narrow road.
The wheel on the Volkswagen looks mangled and the bonnet has slightly popped open where it collided with Fernandes’ flash Porsche.
Utd manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed he will be fine to play in tomorrow’s vital clash against Liverpool.
The interim gaffer told a press conference this afternoon: “Yes, he was training with the team.
“Obviously the accident happened on the way to Carrington. As far as I know, no one was injured.
“He was ok and he’ll be ok for tomorrow.”
The lynchpin will be desperately needed in Rangnick’s starting 11 as Utd battle for a top four spot.
The Red Devils also have big games coming up against Arsenal and Chelsea.
Fernandes arrived at Utd from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 and has cemented himself as one of the team’s key players.
He has netted 49 goals in 120 appearances across all competitions.
This season alone, the ace has nine goals and six assists.
The midfielder recently signed a five-year contract with his salary doubled to £240,000.
Speaking after he penned the new deal, Fernandes said: “From the moment that I joined Manchester United, I have had a special relationship with the club and our amazing fans.
“I grew up watching this team, dreaming of getting the chance to play here one day.
“That dream is now a reality and an honour.
“Even after two years, it still feels amazing to step out at Old Trafford, to hear the fans sing my song and to score in front of the Stretford End.
“It is a true privilege to wear this shirt and to fight for our incredible club.”
