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.
Odion Ighalo says Manchester United fans should expect to be even more impressed by Bruno Fernandes once he has fully got to grips with the tempo of Premier League following his January arrival from Sporting Lisbon.
Fernandes has hit the ground running at Old Trafford in far more impressive style than some of United's previous big-money signings such as Angel Di Maria and Alexis Sanchez.
The Portugual international has racked up three goals and four assists in nine games since his £68m move, and he pulled the strings once again in midfield as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side hammered LASK 5-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night.
