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.
West Ham United midfield duo Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice would walk into the Manchester United team, according to Trevor Sinclair.
Rice is reported to be a priority target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in next season's transfer window, as the Norwegian looks to find a consistent anchor for United's midfield.
Fans have suggested a top defensive midfielder will be the difference between United challenging for silverware this season, and Rice's early season performances suggest he is the ideal candidate to pair with Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba.
The England international certainly looked the part in West Ham's 2-0 Europa League victory over Dinamo Zagreb, capping an all-around performance with a well-taken goal.
