Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has been sent a message by former teammate Juan Mata.

The Spaniard, who spent several seasons at United during the peak of his career, had formed a good partnership with Fernandes on the field.

While the duo did not get to play together for very long, they struck up a good rapport.

Fernandes, who has played 69 games this season, starred for his nation Portugal against Bosnia over the weekend.

"You play so much," the Spaniard stated on Instagram to Fernandes, along with a heart emoji.

Bruno had previously stated that he was happy to keep playing, as he would have time to rest during the off-season.
