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.
Manchester United supporters have been led in several directions during this summer’s transfer window. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made no bones about wanting to add genuine quality throughout his squad, but just one first-team signing is all the club have to show for their efforts so far.
Donny van de Beek’s arrival from Ajax will give the United boss several options in the middle of the park, with Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic seemingly the first-choice trio at this moment in time.
Elsewhere, rumoured big-money moves for other high-profile stars have yet to come to fruition and the club’s hierarchy will be hoping to change that as soon as possible.
