Bruno Fernandes has been handed the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award by Manchester United, following his immense contributions to the team this campaign.
Fernandes is winning his 3rd Player of the Year prize, having previously received the honor in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.
Due to him winning the award, Bruno Fernandes has moved nearer to a record jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo and David De Gea.
The duo have been handed Manchester United’s Player of the Year award four different times, and Fernandes will also be looking to achieve that feat.
Ronaldo won the prize during his first spell at Manchester United, winning it in 2004, 2007, and 2008.
The former Real Madrid man also took home the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award in his second stint at Old Trafford, claiming it in 2022.
De Gea claimed the award three times consecutively between 2014 and 2016, before becoming the first player ever to win it on four occasions in 2018.
Bruno Fernandes Wins Manchester United Player Of The Year Award After Impressive Season
Bruno Fernandes has displayed brilliance this campaign, coming up clutch for the Red Devils on several occasions.
He has been the shining light amid an underwhelming season for Manchester United, with the team failing to offer their fans something to cheer about.
Fernandes has scored 15 goals and provided 12 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions this term.
Moreover, the 29-year-old is the third player to win the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award three times or more.
Diogo Dalot Handed Players’ Player Of The Year Crown
Meanwhile, Diogo Dalot claimed the Manchester United Players’ Player of the Year award, gaining an impressive number of votes from his teammates.
Dalot has been impressive this term, growing into a player that Manchester United fans can be proud of.
The 25-year-old was okay defensively and attacking-wise as he has scored some cracking goals this campaign.
Diogo Dalot has netted 3 goals and provided 5 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions this season.
Alejandro Garnacho’s Stunner Against Everton Claims Goal Of The Season Prize
The Manchester United Goal of the Season award for the 2023/24 season has also been won by Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho’s remarkable overhead kick against Everton was named as the Goal of the Season award.
The cracking goal was scored 3 minutes into Manchester United’s clash against the Toffees at Goodison Park – a fabulous finish that was reminiscent of Wayne Rooney’s stunner versus Manchester City in 2011.
Alejandro Garnacho has also been a mainstay in the Manchester United starting XI this season and he has also contributed his quota towards the good of the team.
Garnacho has made 49 appearances this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists in all competitions.
In addition, Ella Toone also claimed the Manchester United Women’s Player of the Year award.
Anyway, the final game for the Red Devils this season is the FA Cup final, with the team facing defending champions Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 25, 2024.
Manchester United will be looking to end the season on a winning note, although they go into the encounter against the Cityzens with the others stacked against them.
If Erik Ten Hag’s side shockingly defeats Manchester City, they will earn qualification to the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League.
However, the Old Trafford side will fail to make it to Europe if they lose to Pep Guardiola’s side.
