The United camp, known for its camaraderie and close bonds between players, has been rocked by tragic news from the Portuguese football community.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes has delivered a heartfelt message after the tragic death of his compatriot and close friend, Diogo Jota.
Taking to social media, Fernandes wrote: “Friend, colleague and companion in a thousand battles.
“It is difficult to understand how it is possible for someone to leave so soon.
“May you and your brother find the peace you need to look after those you lost so soon and suddenly.
“My condolences to your entire family.”
The emotional message from Bruno Fernandes reflects the deep connection and respect he shared with Jota, with the two having risen through the ranks of Portuguese football and representing their nation at various levels.

The loss has sent shockwaves through the football community, and Fernandes’ tribute has drawn widespread sympathy from both Manchester United supporters and fans across the footballing world.
Jota’s sudden passing serves as a reminder of the fragility of life, even for those at the peak of athletic performance.
Manchester United passed on their condolences to everyone connected with Liverpool following the ‘heartbreaking’ news.
“Our deepest condolences are with the loved ones of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, and everyone connected with Liverpool FC following today’s heartbreaking news.”
While transfers and training may dominate headlines this summer, this moment emphasises the importance of the human side of football — a side that often gets overlooked amid the frenzy of results and rumours.
The Portuguese midfielder has been named on the six-man shortlist for the prestigious PFA Players’ Player of the Year award but that won’t be in the midfielders mind right now after the tragic news.
Bruno Fernandes’ leadership, both on and off the pitch, continues to be a guiding light for Manchester United during trying times.
