Manchester United’s official account has announced that Bruno Fernandes has been named the Premier League’s best player for the 2025/26 season, following his recent Player of the Season award triumph.

The captain earned the honour after a campaign marked by consistent goal contributions, assists and on-field leadership.

Fernandes remained central to United’s attack throughout the season, registering a steady stream of decisive performances even as the club fell short of major silverware.

Despite Manchester United finishing the campaign without trophies, Fernandes’s individual form and influence drew widespread recognition.

Supporters and pundits highlighted his ability to carry the team through difficult moments, often producing match-winning moments and galvanising teammates.

Fan reaction on social media was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Fernandes for shouldering the team’s creative and scoring burden.

Some fans contrasted his achievement with debates around other contenders most notably Declan Rice whose side clinched the Premier League title but whose individual accolades did not culminate in the top personal award.
