Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes are both in agreement about Scott McTominay’s quality after the Manchester United star netted twice in Scotland’s historic win over Spain on Tuesday evening.
The midfielder scored one in either half to sink a sluggish Spain to a 2-0 defeat in their Euro 2024 qualifier and add to his two goals against Cyprus in Saturday’s 3-0 triumph.
It means the 26-year-old has netted as many goals in the past week as he has done in the past two seasons for United. McTominay has had to be patient for game time at Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag with a number of players ahead of him in the pecking order.
