Bruno Fernandes fuels United-Palmer links as hat-trick chatter continues
The Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United captain, has sparked optimism among the Red Devils about the possibility of convincing Cole Palmer, Chelsea's rising forward, to move to Old Trafford.
That belief followed Fernandes' comment on Palmer's Instagram post.
Palmer's hat-trick and Bruno's praise go viral
Palmer shared a set of celebratory images from his hat-trick, captioning them "Just enjoy," as fans and professionals alike applauded his performance.
Fernandes, who also scored in United's 2-0 win over Tottenham, was among the most vocal commentators, replying "What a player" with applause emojis, a reply that drew over 5,000 likes in under three hours.
Reactions were mixed: Chelsea supporters urged Bruno to join Chelsea or step back from Palmer, while United fans celebrated "Agent Bruno" and argued he is trying to lure Palmer to the Red Devils.
Earlier this year, The Sun claimed Palmer, 23, is open to a move to United, a club he has supported since childhood, though Chelsea boss Leam Rosinier downplayed the idea.
Palmer's response to the transfer chatter was pragmatic, saying he feels secure at Stamford Bridge and that life under Rosinier provides confidence and freedom to play at his best when fully fit.
Punchline 1: If these whispers keep buzzing, we’ll need a bigger trophy cabinet for rumors.
Punchline 2: Bruno's agent game is strong—watch Palmer pull a United blue act in the end!
