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.
Dimitar Berbatov has urged Donny van de Beek to bang on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's door and demand answers for his lack of playing time.
The Manchester United playmaker joined in the summer from Ajax for a fee of around £40million. The transfer was considered something of a coup with Real Madrid missing out on the 23-year-old who boasted impressive numbers across the 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns.
But things haven't quite gone to plan for the Dutchman. Van de Beek has only made 20 appearances since signing, with half of those coming from the bench.
As a result, he's only been able to contribute one goal and one assist to his new team this term. Admittedly, Van de Beek has tough competition in Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes.
