“Please train for speed” – Bruno Fernandes sends hilarious message to Manchester United teammate after win against Fulham

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes had a hilarious message for his teammate Lisandro Martinez after the Red Devils earned a 2-1 win against Fulham in their last game ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday (13 November).

Christian Eriksen opened the scoring for the Red Devils before former United star Daniel James equalized for the hosts. Alejandro Garnacho would go on to score a last-minute winner for the Red Devils in injury time.

Martinez took to Instagram to write after the game:

"Vamoss!! We go into the break with a win and showing our spirit until the end!!"

Fernandes replied to the post:

"Please train for speed in the selection."

Martinez joined the Red Devils from Ajax at the start of the season for around £49 million and established himself as a mainstay at the heart of United's defense. He has made 21 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side, which includes 19 starts.
