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.

This season alone the 26-year-old has scored six goals and set up a further five in just 11 appearances. And it's not only his impressive stats that have endeared himself to fans.
Fernandes 's mentality, personality and desperation to win are all the traits of a classic United player. However, how has he impacted those closest to him?
It seems as though for the most part Fernandes has affected his team-mates in a positive way, but there's one or two who haven't had quite as much luck.
