United Briefing: Bruno on his Player of the Year award
Find out what our Portuguese magician said about his second Player of the Year award.
www.manutd.comHere’s the latest on Bruno Fernandes and player-of-the-year honors as of late 2025–2026.
Bruno Fernandes has been named Manchester United Players’ Player of the Year for the 2024-25 season, as voted by his teammates, marking a notable individual award for him at the club. This followed his receipt of the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year from fans earlier in the same season. The club highlighted this as part of an awards double for Fernandes.[1]
In May 2026, Fernandes was widely reported to have won the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year, recognizing his influence and production across the season as United contended for high league finishes and European qualification. The award placed him among Manchester United’s notable recipients of the FWA honor in the club’s history.[2][7]
Additional coverage around similar end-of-season honors in 2026 emphasize Fernandes’ standout campaign, including assertions that he could also be in contention for the Premier League’s Player of the Season award, given his goals and assists tally and United’s improved standing.[6][8][10]
Notes and context
The most widely reported items are Fernandes’ internal Players’ Player of the Year win (2024-25 season) and the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year (2025-26 season) recognition. Different outlets may frame “player of the year” discussions around club awards, national association awards, and league-wide awards, so the exact title can vary by organization (e.g., club vs. national association vs. league).[7][1][2]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise timeline of these awards with dates, the presenting bodies, and a short note on why Fernandes was chosen in each case. I can also pull quotes from managers or teammates and include a quick comparison with peers who were runners-up this season.
Would you like a compact table summarizing each award Fernandes won this season, along with the presenting body and date? I can also add links to official club announcements or reputable outlets for each item.
