Manchester United hit a new low after getting knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the second round against Grimsby Town.
After going 2-0 down in the first half, Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire helped the Red Devils take the game into penalties.
New United duo Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo missed their spot-kicks, handing a dramatic (and deserving) victory to Grimsby.
Journalist Steven Railston posted a video on X, revealing what happened right after Mbeumo failed to convert from the spot.
As Grimsby fans stormed onto the pitch in wild celebration, United players trudged dejectedly towards the dugout.
In that moment, skipper Bruno Fernandes showed his class, jogging over to console Mbeumo and leading him away from the chaos.
The skipper wrapped his arms around the former Brentford forward and escorted him to the dugout.
It was a gesture that deserved recognition from fans, even as emotions still ran high after such a humiliating exit.
It was yet another example of what Fernandes brings to this team.
His leadership extends beyond tactics and statistics. He genuinely cares for his teammates.
A section of United supporters believes that the club should have cashed in on the midfielder when Saudi Arabian clubs made eye-watering offers.
However, Fernandes remains the heartbeat of the side, who still has a lot to give at this level.
United have been here before. Pundits once tore into David de Gea and Scott McTominay during their Old Trafford days.
De Gea was shown the door without a contract renewal, while McTominay was offloaded cheaply to Napoli.
Neither has truly been replaced, and their departure left a void in both quality and character within the squad.
The 30-year-old deserves nothing but applause for his contributions, and fans will hope he can deliver yet again in what promises to be a crucial season.
