Bruno Fernandes continues to shine on the pitches of the Premier League, and his latest nomination for the Player of the Month award is not only deserved but also historic. The Portuguese midfielder, who has been a key player for Manchester United, excelled in March with an impressive performance: in four matches, he scored two goals and provided four assists, bringing his total to 16 assists for the season, a feat that makes him the club’s player with the most assists in a single Premier League season, surpassing David Beckham’s record of 15 assists from the 1999/2000 season.
“I am very happy to have been nominated. What matters most is the team, but it is always nice to see my work being recognized,” said Fernandes, reflecting his philosophy that individual success is a reflection of collective performance. But that’s not all: with just four assists away from tying the record for most assists in a season in the Premier League, which belongs to legends like Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry, the pressure is on him, and the fans of Manchester United expect him to continue elevating his game.
The competition is fierce, and Bruno is not alone in this race. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is also on the shortlist and presents himself as a serious contender. With three matches in March, Raya managed to keep a clean sheet in two of them and made nine saves, proving to be a wall in Arsenal’s defense.
Other players who also stood out and were nominated include Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest and Danny Welbeck from Brighton, both scoring three goals this month. Alex Iwobi from Fulham and Anthony Gordon from Newcastle are not far behind, with Iwobi contributing one goal and Gordon scoring three times in three matches.
Bruno Fernandes, who has not won the Player of the Month award in a year, since March 2022, is one step away from claiming his fourth distinction. This is a pivotal moment in his career, and the anticipation surrounding his nomination is palpable. Will the maestro of Manchester United finally take home the award that has eluded him for so long? The answer is about to be revealed, and fans can hardly wait to see if their idol will once again be crowned as the best of the month in the Premier League.
