Bruno Fernandes Equals Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United Record
Bruno Fernandes Equals Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United Record

Bruno Fernandes has made history by winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for a record-equalling fourth time, matching Cristiano Ronaldo and David de Gea as the only Manchester United players to achieve this feat.

The Portugal international, who also claimed the Players' Player of the Year award, has been instrumental for United this season despite the team's struggles in the Premier League. He has recorded 19 goals and 19 assists across all competitions, including key contributions in the Europa League where he scored a hat-trick against Real Sociedad, a goal against Lyon, and a brace in the semi-final first leg against Athletic Bilbao.

Fernandes previously won the award in 2020, 2021, and 2024, while Ronaldo's wins came in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2021. De Gea was honoured in four years out of five between 2014 and 2018. Should Fernandes remain at the club, he is the early favourite to win the award next season and hold the record outright.

Amad finished runner-up in the voting, with his winning goal against Manchester City named Goal of the Season, while Harry Maguire came third. Fernandes will now look to cap his season by helping United win the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur next week, with the winners also securing Champions League qualification.
