Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes says friendships will go out the window against Manchester City today.

Fernandes' fellow Portuguese Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva are all enjoying fantastic campaigns and have played a major role in the Blues' incredible run.

“I speak with them regularly, we have a good relationship," he told United's official site. "But the relationships stay out of the game. They know me and they know that on the pitch we are not friends anymore!

"At the same time I enjoy seeing them play and every one of them is doing well individually and I'm happy for them. As a team I was hoping to see them do a little bit worse than they are doing, but individually I am happy for them because they are good people and they deserve to be in the positions they are and playing in the way they are playing."
