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.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that Paul Pogba may want to remain at Manchester United past this season and for the foreseeable future.
The Frenchman was on the scoresheet as the Red Devils comfortably beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Thursday night to keep up their top four charge.
The result means it is now 17 games unbeaten in all competitions for Solskjaer’s men, who look like a completely different side to that at the turn of the year.
All aspects of the team are performing much better now but there is no doubt that the catalyst for the upturn in form has been the signing of Bruno Fernandes in January.
