Fernandes equals Shaw's Man Utd haul in half the time 😲 | OneFootball

Bruno Fernandes is Manchester United's Mr. Reliable both in terms of his ability and his availability.

Tonight he makes his 278th appearance for the club in little over five years, amazingly equalling the tally of Luke Shaw.

The England left-back joined United over five years prior to the Portuguese midfielder's arrival, but has been beset by constant injuries over the year, notably a horrific leg break at the start of the 2015/16 season.

That break seems to have caused him multiple issues since, with hamstring and calf injuries meaning he has not started for the club since February of last year, and has only made three substitute appearances this season.

Still, it is rather startling and a testament to Fernandes' fitness, as well as Shaw's misfortune.

Shaw is nearing another potential return, but it seems nothing is certain at United bar their captain showing up on match day.
