‘Who invited Bruno Fernandes?!’ - Man Utd star trolled by rival fans after a rat is spotted on the pitch at the Etihad during Man City’s match against Sheffield United

Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United was trespassed by a small rat running across the pitch. The Citizens eased to victory and would have hardly noticed the extra man, or rat, they had on the pitch. Yet, the rat was not missed by rival fans who took to social media to point fun at United's Fernandes.

A whole host of tweets aimed at Fernandes came flying in. One user commented: "Who invited Bruno to the Eithad?"

Another replied: "What’s Bruno doing?"

And finally, an Arsenal fan said: "What's Bruno doing on the pitch?"

You would like to hope Bruno Fernandes won't be scouring social media just before he takes to the pitch at the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest. But, if he is, United fans will be hoping he has thick enough skin to not take the light trolling too much to heart.

Fernandes will captain United as they face Forest and the Portuguese star will be hoping to put in a strong performance to make sure social media is talking about his victory, and not a rat.
