Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been officially named the Premier League Player of the Matchweek following his decisive display in the 2–0 Manchester derby victory, further underlining his status as one of Europe’s most influential midfielders this season.
The Portuguese playmaker was at the heart of everything United did well against their city rivals, dictating tempo, unlocking the defence, and delivering when it mattered most on the biggest stage. His performance not only earned individual recognition but also highlighted a campaign that is rapidly shaping into one of the finest of his career.
Fernandes’ underlying numbers this season make for remarkable reading. He has created more chances than any other player across Europe’s top five leagues, while also leading the charts for big chances created. These figures reinforce his reputation as a creative hub, capable of consistently producing decisive moments regardless of opposition or occasion.
Since arriving in England, Fernandes has now created over 600 chances in the Premier League, a staggering milestone that places him among the most productive chance-creators the competition has ever seen.
