Transfer: You deserve the best - Bruno Fernandes tells departing Man United star

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has reacted as one of his teammates, Facundo Pellistri announces his exit from Old Trafford.

Fernandes sent a message to the player, telling him he 'deserves the best'.

Pellistri, a Uruguay international, joined Greek outfit Panathinaikos from Manchester United for a reported £6.8 million deal.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan could not meet his expectations at Old Trafford and it was not surprising to see him exit the club.

He could not fit in anywhere with the presence of Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, and Amad Diallo, among others.

The winger took to Instagram to say his goodbye to Red Devils fans, writing,

"Dear Reds, my time has come to say goodbye. It's been an incredible journey, full of unforgettable moments and experiences that I will cherish forever.

"Your unwavering support both on and off the pitch, is something I will remember forever. I've grown as a player and as a person, and that's because of you. As you say, once a Red, always a Red. Manchester will always hold a special place in my heart."

And in response, Fernandes said,

"You deserve the best."
