​Man Utd playmaker Mata: I've become close with Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata admits that he has grown close to new signing Bruno Fernandes.

The Portuguese signed for United in January from Sporting CP and has made an instant impact.

He has shown some excellent link up play with his teammates, especially fellow attacking midfielder Mata.

Mata was asked if he had a nickname for Bruno by a fan during a Q&A on MUTV.

He responded by saying: "I just chant his song, which is 'Bruno, Bruno' every morning when I see him, so I think he's happy with my morning welcome.

"He is a great guy, we have become very close and he's obviously a great player."
