Bruno Fernandes’ penchant for extra sessions after training could land him in fitness trouble, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been warned.

Former Sporting CP coach Jose Peseiro has revealed the playmaker’s amazing dedication to football.

The 60-year-old told BBC Sport: “Normally when training finished, he’d have lunch in the club and then he would go to watch the U19s or U23s play.

“He liked to see the matches more than the others. He wanted to see the new, young players and speak to them to learn who they are and what they are doing on the pitch.

“He liked too much to see football. He lives for football.

“He wants to train too much, he wants to train more than is possible.

“The coach needs to say, ‘Bruno, stop!’ because he wants to train every minute of the day.

“At the end of a training session he will want to stay out and shoot. If there is a ball there, he will want to do something whether it’s before training, during training or after training. He enjoys it so much.”
