Pitch invaders take selfies with Fernandes during Man Utd friendly
Two young fans ran onto the pitch to take selfies with Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds before winning 5-4 on penalties.
During a pre-season friendly football match between Manchester United and Leeds in Dublin, pitch invaders took to the field to take selfies with Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes. The friendly, which marked the first game at Croke Park since 2009, ended in bizarre fashion when security failed to stop the intruders, leading to three more individuals joining in.
Play was halted before referee Neil Doyle blew for full-time, resulting in an 1-1 draw. United's Joshua Zirkzee scored early, but Leeds equalized shortly before halftime through Brenden Aaronson. Noussair Mazraoui secured a spot-kick win for Manchester United in a penalty shoot-out. After the match, Carrick praised the young players' efforts and expressed optimism about their potential future appearances for the team, including potentially Rashford's return to a United shirt after a loan spell at Barcelona.
