Bruno Fernandes crowned Premier League Player of the Season
Bruno Fernandes has capped off a remarkable campaign by being named the Premier Leagues Player of the Season after leading Manchester United back into the UEFA Champions League. The Portuguese midfielder has been at the heart of Uniteds resurgence this season, combining leadership with elite creativity in the final third. Fernandes registered his 20th assist of the league campaign last weekend, drawing level with two Premier League legends for the most assists in a single season. He now shares the record with Thierry Henry, who achieved the feat for Arsenal during the 2002-03 season, and former Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, who matched the tally in 2019-20. Fernandes still has the opportunity to make history outright when United face Brighton & Hove Albion in their final league game on Sunday. The award adds to an already memorable month for the Portugal international, who was also recognised earlier this May as Englands Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers Association. With goals, assists and influential performances throughout the campaign, Fernandes has played a central role in Manchester Uniteds successful push to return to Europes top competition.
