Man City star Bernardo Silva is promoting a high-end skincare brand, but Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes couldn’t let the moment pass without mocking his Portuguese compatriot.
There is a lot to play for in the remaining Premier League fixtures.
Arsenal appear to be wobbling at the top of the table with Man City on their tails, Manchester United are pushing for a Champions League spot, and the fight for survival is heating up with Tottenham Hotspur sitting in the relegation zone.
United need their best players, including Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo, to hit top form for the final six games of the season.

Bruno Fernandes trolls Bernardo Silva on Instagram
Fernandes and Bernardo Silva are close friends in the Portugal national team, despite sitting on opposite sides of one of the Premier League’s fiercest rivalries.
At United, Fernandes is the captain and talisman. It could be argued that Silva is almost as important to City, being a technically gifted engine.
Both players will be hoping for a successful summer when they represent Portugal at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Silva’s teammate – for Man City and Portugal – Ruben Dias took a similar approach to Fernandes. He wrote: “You never used a cream.”
