Bruno Fernandes wins Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for third time

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has faced a lot of criticism this season, but that has not stopped him from winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.

Fernandes finished the season strongly, earning some deserved plaudits, but throughout the season he battled through knocks and niggles to make himself available as a major influence for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Our no.8, who has been linked with a summer move away from Old Trafford, has twice been named Player of the Month this season (August & April).

Fans took to ManUtd.com to vote for this year’s Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, with Fernandes picking up 40% of the vote. The closest challenger was fellow countryman, Diogo Dalot, who was United’s most improved player by some distance. The next two in the voting were Kobbie Mainoo in third and Alejandro Garnacho in fourth.

It’s the third time Fernandes was won the prestigious award.
