Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been named the 2025-26 PFA Players’ Player of the Year after breaking the Premier League assists record. This makes the Portuguese playmaker the first MUFC player to win the prestigious trophy since Wayne Rooney in the 2009-10 season, adding this prize to the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award he won in May.
Reacting, Bruno expressed his delight at being recognised by his fellow professionals across the division, stressing that he feels proud to receive the prestigious award.
Fernandes added that his teammates deserve his gratitude because it is not easy to vote for someone you play against.
His words, “It is obviously a very proud moment. They are the ones you go on the pitch against and it’s probably not easy to vote for someone you play against, so it is a very good moment.”
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
