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.
Having scored twice in Manchester United's victory over Fulham in the FA Cup, Bruno Fernandes has moved past Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez in the Reds' scoring charts.
Erik ten Hag's side secured a 3-1 win over their Premier League rivals at Old Trafford on Sunday - progressing to the semi-finals of the competition, where they will face Brighton at Wembley.
Fernandes grabbed a brace in the triumph, converting from the penalty spot and then smashing home from close range in injury time.
