Bruno Fernandes fooled around with his Manchester United teammate, Marcus Rashford as they prepare to face Barcelona in the Europa League on Thursday.

Erik ten Hag's side upturn of form this season will be put under severe test when they face an equally good side under club legend, Xavi Hernandez.

Marcus Rashford will be the Red Devil's go-to man for goals. The English forward has hit top form since the World Cup break and will be expected to be in prime condition for the La Blaugrana test.

Perhaps this is why Fernandes was wary of his teammate wearing himself down before the game.

Like almost every other couple in the world, Rashford marked Valentine's Day by treating his fiancee, Lucia Loi to what looked like a romantic dinner.

The 26-year-old uploaded a video on his Instagram with Super Bowl LVII half-time show performer, Rihanna's song Lift Me Up in the background.

The setting and ambience were perfect, with Loi going into Rashford's embrace. However, he took issue with the dogs that were constantly barking in the background.

The English forward captioned the video" "If only the dogs could give us a second." At the time of writing, the video had generated over 7,000 comments, but it was Fernandes' comment that stood out.

The Portuguese playmaker asked Rashford to 'save the legs.' Fans took notice of the rather adult joke from Fernandes.
