Bruno Fernandes reveals emotional reason for wearing the number 8 at Man Utd

Fernandes has a close bond with his parents, and also revealed that his ‘BF8′ tattoo on his arm actually honours them.

“The B is the last name of my mum, Borges, and the F is the last name of my father, Fernandes,” he explained.

“The eight is the day of my birthday! So this number eight says a lot about me, says a lot about my family, says a lot about my past and that’s why I like to use [it]. And that’s why it’s my preferred number.”
