Bruno Fernandes equals Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time Man Utd record

Bruno Fernandes has been voted Manchester United’s Player of the Season for a record-equalling fourth year, a feat only matched by two other legendary players in the club’s modern history.

His consistent excellence has solidified his status as one of the most influential figures at Old Trafford, despite a challenging season for the team overall.

Throughout this campaign, Fernandes has shone as the club’s captain and leading playmaker.

The Portuguese midfielder has scored 19 goals and provided 17 assists across all competitions, making him the top scorer and assister among his teammates.

His impressive individual stats highlight his importance to the squad, even as United struggled to meet expectations on the pitch.

There was little surprise among fans that Fernandes was chosen as the club’s standout performer once again.

Having previously won the award in 2020, 2021, and 2022, Fernandes’s consistent performances have earned him widespread admiration.

Since the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Season trophy was introduced in 1988, only Cristiano Ronaldo and David de Gea have matched his four triumphs, placing him in elite company.

Fernandes’s creative prowess extends beyond goal contributions. He has created more chances than any other Premier League player this season, with an impressive 88 openings.

However, his efforts have often gone unrewarded, as his teammates have struggled with their finishing.

While Fernandes’s chances have resulted in nine goals, Mohamed Salah’s 84 chances have led to 18 goals, underscoring the disparity in clinical finishing across the league.

Despite his individual success, Fernandes has been vocal about his frustrations with the team’s overall performance.

He has openly discussed the growing disappointment within himself and his teammates, emphasizing his belief in their potential.

Looking ahead, Fernandes and Manchester United will have a chance to secure silverware in the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the captain has cautioned his team to maintain focus and not solely rely on that fixture to define their season.
