Portuguese midfield maestro, Bruno Fernandes, has been crowned Manchester United’s Player of the Year for the second successive season.
Recall that Fernandes stormed Old Trafford with a stunning form after joining in January 2020 to lift the trophy (United’s Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year) in his first campaign.
The 26-year-old won a staggering 63% vote by fans, beating Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani who came second and third with 21% and 6% votes respectively, leaving Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford to finish in fourth and fifth respectively.
“Fernandes has enjoyed another remarkable campaign, scoring 18 times in 36 Premier League starts, claiming nine goals in Europe (Champions League and Europa League) and not forgetting his masterful free-kick winner against Liverpool in the Emirates FA Cup,” the club said.
He has contributed 11 assists in the Premier League and a further five in Europe and tops many charts for the most creative and productive midfielder around, beating Frank Lampard’s goal record for a midfielder in the Premier League era with his latest strike against Liverpool.
The classy playmaker was Player of the Month in November and December, and was also nominated in October and February.
