Bruno Fernandes Named England's Best Player

Bruno Fernandes has been crowned England's Player of the Year by fellow professionals after a record-breaking season with Manchester United.

The Manchester United captain received the prestigious award from the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) after becoming the first player to provide 21 assists in a single Premier League season. Fernandes was nominated alongside Erling Haaland, who became the first Scandinavian to win the award in 2023 after scoring 52 goals in his debut season at Manchester City.

The PFA has been recognizing England's top players since the 1973/74 season. On the women's side, Manchester City's Bunny Shaw claimed the award. The winners are voted for exclusively by fellow professional players. esporist.com
