How Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes mix up led to Man Utd quickly deleting Mother’s Day social media post
Title: The Blunder Behind Man Utd’s Mother’s Day Mishap: A Mix-Up with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes
In a recent social media slip-up that left Manchester United red-faced, a well-intentioned Mother’s Day post aimed at Portuguese-speaking fans quickly turned into a comical mistake. As countries worldwide celebrated Mother’s Day on May 12th, United sought to connect with their Portuguese fanbase, crafting a special image featuring beloved players and their mothers. However, what ensued was an unexpected mix-up that led to the prompt deletion of the post.
At the center of the mishap was Bruno Fernandes, a key player for United. The post intended to showcase Fernandes alongside his mother. Instead, the image portrayed Fernandes standing with a woman who, to the surprise of many, turned out to be Dolores Aveiro – not Fernandes’ mother, but rather the famous matriarch of former United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The error was quickly spotted by eagle-eyed fans and promptly rectified by the social media team, but not before causing a stir online. The incident highlighted the widespread recognition of Dolores Aveiro, who has carved out her own niche in the limelight thanks to her son’s illustrious football career. From featuring in advertising campaigns to becoming a household name in Portugal, Aveiro’s fame transcends the boundaries of her son’s success.
Despite the embarrassing blunder, Manchester United, under the leadership of Fernandes, are determined to finish the 2023-24 season on a high note. Following criticism stemming from a recent defeat to Arsenal, the team is focused on upcoming matches against Newcastle and Brighton in the Premier League. Additionally, European qualification remains within reach, providing further motivation for a strong finish. The pinnacle of their season lies in the FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City at Wembley on May 25th, offering a chance for redemption and glory on the grand stage.
