Biography
Bruno Fernandes has been one of the most transformative signings for Manchester United in recent years. He joined the club in January 2020 from Sporting CP for an initial fee of around €55 million, with potential add-ons. From the moment he stepped onto the pitch, Fernandes became a talismanic figure for the team, immediately elevating United's attacking play with his creativity, leadership, and goal-scoring ability.
In his debut half-season (2019-2020), Fernandes played a pivotal role in Manchester United's resurgence. He contributed 8 goals and 7 assists in just 14 Premier League appearances, helping the club secure 3rd place in the Premier League and qualification for the Champions League. His performances earned him the Premier League Player of the Month twice in that season, a remarkable achievement for a newcomer.
During the 2020-2021 season, Fernandes' influence grew even stronger. He played 58 games across all competitions, scoring 28 goals and providing 17 assists. Fernandes became renowned for his ability to score from midfield, his accuracy from free-kicks and penalties, and his leadership on the pitch. In that season, he helped United finish 2nd in the Premier League and reach the UEFA Europa League final, where they narrowly lost to Villarreal on penalties. He also became the club's top scorer and assist provider that season, cementing his status as one of the best attacking midfielders in the world.
One of Fernandes' standout traits has been his consistency and work ethic. He often dictates play, rally's teammates, and takes responsibility during difficult moments. He also frequently stepped up in big games, scoring important goals, including a memorable brace in United's 6-2 win over AS Roma in the 2021 Europa League semi-final.
In his first full season, Fernandes set a Premier League record for most goals scored by a midfielder in a single campaign, finishing with 18 league goals. His efforts earned him multiple individual accolades, including being named in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2020-2021 season. He also became United's Player of the Year for both 2020 and 2021, reflecting his consistent excellence.
Fernandes' leadership qualities have been evident from his arrival. While not always the formal captain, he has often worn the armband in the absence of club captain Harry Maguire. His demanding attitude and will to win have endeared him to fans and teammates alike.
Since joining Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has made over 240 appearances, contributing with a remarkable number of goals and assists, and playing a central role in Manchester United's attacking play. His partnership with players like Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, and later Cristiano Ronaldo, further enhanced United's attacking prowess.
Despite United's struggles in terms of silverware during his early years, Fernandes has been instrumental in their push to compete at the top level, and his influence on the team is widely regarded as one of the most significant factors in their modern-day performances. His ability to dictate play, score goals, and provide key assists has solidified him as one of Manchester United's most important players.
