Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes helped a sick passenger on a flight to Lisbon from Manchester on Monday.

Fernandes was travelling back to his home country with United and Portugal team-mate Diogo Dalot before he rushed to the aid of an ill gentleman.

According to Business Cloud, Fernandes is said to have called out: "Excuse me! We need help! Excuse me! We need help!"

Following the 30-year-old's action, the crew were able to help the passenger.

Fellow passenger Susanna Lawson said: “Bruno went to the loo at the back of the plane during the flight. (We) suddenly heard a shout for assistance which those within hearing distance looked back, including us as we were toward the back.

“Bruno was holding a gentleman who looked like he was passing out. I don’t know if he lost consciousness or not.

“Members of the crew rushed to the back to help. There was a spare seat at the back which Bruno helped the gentleman to sit down on.

“He stayed at the back with them and made sure he was OK. It might have been about five to ten minutes and then he made his way back to his seat but again very unassuming. He wasn’t looking for any attention on himself.”

She added: “I praised him for looking after the ill passenger. Honestly, if you didn’t know who he was you would have just thought he was any other passenger.”
