BrunoFernandes

Bruno Fernandes has scored 29 times in 88 caps for Portugal, a rate that explains why he is trusted to take responsibility in the final third. At Manchester United, an attacking midfielder who scores as often as he creates shapes how the side attacks, and his set-piece and penalty duties follow from that record.

His route to Old Trafford ran through Italy and Portugal. He turned out for Novara Calcio, Udinese Calcio and U.C. Sampdoria before joining Sporting CP, where 39 goals in 83 appearances pushed him into a more advanced role. United signed him in 2020, and he has since made 230 appearances with 71 goals, while representing Portugal at senior level.
