Bruno Fernandes: Man United captain lavishes praise on supporters Manchester United fans once again rewarded their talisman, Bruno Fernandes. Stellar season After last season’s embarrassment of finishing 15th in the league, Manchester United needed to respond this year.

There have been a number of strong performers this season, including Casemiro and new signings Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha, but Bruno Fernandes’ performances outclass all of them. The Portuguese midfielder has 19 assists in the league, and with two matches left, could grab the two assists he needs to break the Premier League record of 20 in one season. Another award Fernandes was once again rewarded by the fans and voted the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for the fifth time.

This is incredible when you consider he only joined the club in January 2020. He has now moved clear of four-time winners David De Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo. Speaking to club media , Fernandes expressed his delight at taking home the award.

Grateful He explained, “obviously I’m very grateful for that. We all know we all play for our fan base, for our club, and obviously getting this award from them, it’s always very special. ” Fernandes continued to praise the role of the club’s fantastic supporters by stating, “I think the main thing that they give to us is the belief that we are capable to do big things and great things for the club.
