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.
Bruno Fernandes has 'shown up' Paul Pogba by doing everything he was meant to do at Manchester United since joining in January.
That's according to Emmanuel Petit, who adds that it isn't all bad news for the Frenchman just yet, and that he is hopeful he can strike a formidable partnership with Fernandes at Manchester United.
The Red Devils signed Pogba in 2016, and while the World Cup winner has shown glimpses of his class in this time, he hasn't been the consistent performer United were expecting to get.
Pogba has missed much of this season with an injury, but Fernandes has stepped up in his place since January, and has quickly become the club's star attraction.
