Seven-year-old Bobby lives with a rare genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), which causes muscle weakness and wasting. But SMA hasn’t stopped him from playing the game he loves or supporting the team closest to his heart.
Bobby wrote a letter to @manutd ‘s Bruno Fernandes. Touched by his story, Bruno invited him to Manchester for a truly special day and was given the ultimate gift: walking out of the tunnel at the Theatre of Dreams alongside his favourite player.

CWell done Bruno for showing true Ubuntu. In South Africa blek native language we say "Umuntu ngumuntu ngabanye bantu".
"motho ke motho ka batho ba bang".
Literally meaning that "a person is a person because of other persons".
I so wish that all players could look at these children and see themselves in them and how they mean to them.
If they can do so, it could be a real game changer.
YNWA. This is what football is about. 😊
Why am I crying this hard
Bruno Bruno bruno 💪💪💪
Onana shit again
Oh come on matic is right
Booby you are legend … ❤
Love the little gesture from Yoro too for a personal photo with him (not sure if the others offered inside the cantina)
Fantastic. Memories for the young lad and history to go along with it. Bruno is a shining example of a great guy.
We do not deserve Bruno! The man is all class and unfortunately is part of a very poor united era.
65 years old, grew up on the streets of London, nothing phases me… cried like a baby, what a wonderful gesture by all the United clan. Stay safe Bobby !!! ♥
❤❤ what a super fan 💯👏❤❤
