Bruno Fernandes Wins PFA Player of the Year

The update

Bruno Fernandes has been named the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year for the 2025/26 season. The Manchester United captain secured the award over Arsenal’s Declan Rice, despite United finishing third in the Premier League and failing to win a trophy.

Why it matters

Fernandes becomes the first United player to win the PFA award since Wayne Rooney in 2009/10. He also won the Football Writers’ Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award in May. This double honors his record-breaking individual season, where he set up 21 Premier League goals, surpassing the previous record held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.

What to watch

Fernandes’ award adds to the pressure on Manchester United’s hierarchy to deliver silverware next season. The club is expected to make significant changes to the squad and coaching staff following a disappointing campaign.
