Man Utd fans can’t wait for stars to return after tearing up Euro 2024 qualifying as Bruno bags hat-trick of assists
BRUNO FERNANDES has led the charge with a host of Manchester United players in red-hot form during this international break - and fans can't wait to have them all back.
The Red Devils skipper has played the full 90 minutes in both of Portugal's Euro 2024 qualifiers in recent days.
Fernandes, 29, netted his country's winner as they beat Slovakia 1-0 on Friday night.
He then put in a sublime display on Monday - scoring once and laying on a hat-trick of assists as Portugal dismantled Luxembourg 9-0.
Diogo Dalot also played the full 90 in both games as Portugal took a huge stride towards qualifying for next summer's tournament in Germany.
Man Utd's Danish duo have also enjoyed a fruitful international break.
Christian Eriksen scored and grabbed two assists as Denmark routed San Marino 4-0.
The midfielder then played the full 90 minutes on Monday night as the Danes beat Finland 1-0 courtesy of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's goal.
Rasmus Hojlund came off the bench in both games as he continues his careful return from injury - and was not able to add to his impressive tally of six goals in qualifying thus far.
But he did delight fans with a passionate speech to fans using a megaphone.
