Bruno Fernandes undergoing extra training sessions away from Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes is undergoing extra training sessions with teammate Diogo Dalot ahead of Manchester United's planned return to action next month.

The Portuguese midfielder was a revelation in his first three months after joining from Sporting Lisbon in January, only for the coronavirus pandemic to bring a halt to the campaign.

Fernandes returned to small group training last week for the first time since March, with Premier League chiefs eyeing a restart in mid-to-late June.

In a bid to reach peak fitness in time for the big return, the 25-year-old has also been taking part in private sessions with RH Elite Coaching in Manchester.

The company posted a video on social media showing Fernandes practising penalties and free kicks, while also taking part in a few passing drills.

Fernandes scored and set up six goals for United in nine appearances before the three-month hiatus.
