Bruno Fernandes Shines as Sporting Draw Liverpool in Preseason Friendly

Well, this may add fuel to those Bruno Fernandes-Manchester United transfer rumors.

The 24-year-old Sporting CP midfielder was involved in both of his club's goals during Wednesday night's 2-2 friendly draw with Liverpool at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York.

To start, Fernandes drilled a goal from beyond the box to take an early lead in the fourth minute. Fernandes' shot was met by Simon Mignolet's gloves, but the Liverpool goalkeeper misjudged the ball's dip and allowed it to bounce into the net

He again made an impact by assisting Wendel in the 53rd minute to tie the game at 2-2 and salvage the draw for Sporting.
