Bruno Fernandes was bought from Sporting Club Lisbon for a fee of 55million Euros in January 2020. He has been in a scintillating form ever since he joined the Red Devils. Bruno Fernandes had a solid impact on the team as he is the one responsible for most of the match-winning moments. The 26 years old also known as the “Magnifico” has set higher standards for a modern-day midfielder. He is not only involved in providing those important through balls leading to a goal but also being one of those men featuring on the score-sheet.
In the last two years, no player in the Premier League has more goal involvements than our very own man Bruno Fernandes. The numbers are completely insane and totally not expected from a midfielder. Bruno has bagged a total of 35 goals and 25 assists in just 76 appearances in the Premier League.
There has been only one midfielder that the Premier League fans has been chanting for years and that’s Kevin De Bruyne. He is another talisman producing some fine display whenever he steps up the pitch. Just before Fernades entered the League it was only Kevin De Bruyne bossing the midfield. But it took Bruno less than a year to change the scenario.
Bruno has been phenomenal with the ball. His intricate passing ability, his pace, stamina, goal-scoring ability and his vision all adds up to his brilliant quality. Bruno Fernandes has been a victim of mockery in the 2020/21 season with the name as “penandes”. It was given due the fact he takes the penalties for United. What many people don’t take into account is the accuracy he possesses.
Even this season (2021/22) Bruno has produced some fine results. Bruno has already 6 assists in the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE making him the highest assist-maker in the competition and the most chances created and also scoring 9 goals and 6 assists in the league. On the other hand, he is the only midfielder in the league with 0 pens. Look how the tables have turned! From scoring penalties to scoring bangers and topping the chart.
Lately, Bernardo Silva is having a good season and since he plays for the title winning team (Manchester City), he’s getting more attention than Bruno Fernandes. It’s so weird that the attention quickly turns towards the team rather than player. Bruno has been completely responsible for helping United get a top four spot.
Premier League has seen a very few players like Bruno Fernandes who is consistently good at his job. Bruno is a born leader who is perfectly fit to become the captain of United leading the club for a title that they deserve more than anyone. What makes Bruno Fernandes better than a lot is midfielders in the league is his consistency and work-rate. Implementing both these qualities at the same time is one hell of a job and Bruno Fernandes makes it look very easy for us.
