Bruno Fernandes: 2025/26 EA SPORTS Player of the Season

Manchester United's captain, Bruno Fernandes, has been named the 2025/26 EA SPORTS Player of the Season, marking his first win of the prestigious award. Fernandes has been a standout player for Manchester United this season, contributing significantly to the team's success in securing a UEFA Champions League spot. With eight goals and 20 assists in 37 Premier League appearances, Fernandes has been instrumental in Man Utd's third-place finish.

His 20th assist of the season, setting up Bryan Mbeumo in a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, saw Fernandes equal the record for most assists in a single Premier League season alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry. The Portuguese midfielder expressed his delight at achieving this milestone and looks forward to potentially setting a new record in the final match against Aston Villa.

Fernandes has already made history by matching David Beckham's record as Man Utd's top creator in a single Premier League season. His exceptional playmaking abilities have seen him create 132 chances, the most in the league, surpassing his closest competitor by a significant margin. Additionally, Fernandes' six EA SPORTS Player of the Month awards tie him with Cristiano Ronaldo, showcasing his consistent excellence throughout the season.

As the recipient of the Football Writers' Association's men's Footballer of the Year award, Fernandes continues to receive recognition for his outstanding performances. Winning the EA SPORTS Player of the Season award further solidifies his status as a key player for Manchester United and a deserving recipient of this prestigious accolade.
