BRUNO FERNANDES’ dream year has delivered yet again after revealing he is expecting the arrival of his second child.
The Portuguese has enjoyed a whirlwind start to 2020 after signing for Manchester United in a £55million deal from Sporting Lisbon in January.
Fernandes, 25, has also wasted no time in announcing himself as a fan favourite with the United faithful already singing a song in his honour from the terraces.
And now it gets even better after taking to Instagram to reveal a baby boy is on the way with childhood sweetheart Ana Pinho.
The young couple already have a three-year-old daughter called Matilde.
Now three is about to become four following Fernandes’ heartwarming post on Instagram.
Alongside a sweet picture of Matilde kissing the baby bump on Ana, he wrote: “Looks like I managed to tie the bills here at home. A baby boy on the way.”
His fans flooded to social media to congratulate him on his latest good news with one writing: “Congrats to you both.”
Another added: “Another assist! Congratulations mate.”
He even chose his No18 shirt in tribute to his other half.
Fernandes said: “There are a lot of reasons for the No18. It’s a number I like.
“The last three years I have played as No8 because it’s the number my father had as a player and my birthday and it’s the number I like.
“No18 is also the birthday of my wife and another reason is, when I grew up, I saw Paul Scholes playing in it and for me having this shirt and this number of an amazing player is something I will enjoy. I know I have a lot of responsibility.”
But had it not been for Fernandes’ persistence, the midfielder would have never ended up with Ana.
She revealed: “We were 16/17 years old. We met at school.
“At the time I was in Boavista and went to a nearby school. We fell into the same class.
“He tried a few times [to kiss me] and I always said ‘no’, and then I gave in.
“[It was] at school, it was just the two of us, it was in front of the school, there was a gum shop, that’s it.”
They married in December 2015 and welcomed baby Matilde into the world in January 2017.
