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.
Erik ten Hag's tenure at Manchester United continues to spark discussion following two disappointing results on Sunday and Thursday against Tottenham and FC Porto in the Europa League respectively.

After losing to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday, Ten Hag's squad found themselves languishing in 13th place, trailing the Champions League qualification positions by six points after just six matches.
After Thursday's 3-3 draw in Porto, they remain winless in the European competition. READ MORE: Can Man United appeal Bruno Fernandes red card?
