What more needs to be said about Bruno Fernandes! Since his transfer to the Premier League to Manchester United in 2020, Fernandes has been an absolute star and talisman for the club. From scoring goals to creating them, he has done it all and consistently.

He broke the record for most goals (18) by a midfielder in a singular Premier League season in his first full season at Manchester United. He has shown his range of abilities - passes, goals, and penalties and is one of the club's most important players. He has been criticized in the current campaign due to his performances, but he is still the primary outlay for chance creations.

Eight goals and five assists from 24 games are nowhere reasonable enough numbers for someone as good as Fernades. However, he and the Manchester United fans will expect better performances as the club pushes for a top-four spot.
