During Manchester United's pre-season friendly against Leeds in Dublin, pitch invaders disrupted play by taking selfies with midfielder Bruno Fernandes. After security failed to stop the intruders, three more joined in before the match ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes. The game, held at Croke Park, saw Manchester United score first through Joshua Zirkzee in the 16th minute, but Leeds equalized shortly after halftime via Brenden Aaronson.
