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.
Summer signing Manuel Ugarte was critical of his own performance following Manchester United's 1-1 draw with FC Twente in their Europa League opener at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The Uruguayan, who joined United from Paris Saint-Germain last month, made his second start for the club, starting alongside Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
Ugarte, whose only previous start was in last week's 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, produced four tackles, two interceptions and two clearances.
However his passing at times was a little bit suspect, resulting in him ending the game with an 81 per cent passing accuracy.
