Bruno Fernandes Bags FWA Player of the Year Trophy

Bruno Fernandes is shutting down doubters and collecting silverware. The Manchester United captain has been named the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year for the 2025/26 season, cementing his status as one of the Premier League's elite ballers. The Portuguese playmaker beat out stiff competition from Arsenal's Declan Rice and Manchester City's goal machine Erling Haaland. This marks the first time a Red Devils player has won the prestigious award since Wayne Rooney took it home in 2010—a whole 15 years ago. Fernandes had an absolutely stellar campaign, carrying United on his back with his vision, leadership, and clutch performances. His consistent brilliance throughout the season made him the clear choice for football writers across the country. The award adds another trophy to Bruno's growing collection and proves he's still got that magic touch. From free kicks to through balls to penalties under pressure, the man delivers when it matters most. Man United fans better hold onto this one tight—he's pure gold.
