It’s been a significant turnaround at United in just shy of a year and Fernandes has been at its actual heart.

 

Frankly, it’s difficult to think about a superior presentation year by a major part throughout the entire existence of the Premier League.

 

Fernandes’ irresistible hard working attitude and win-no matter what mentality have aroused the whole United group and the Portuguese’s details from his introduction year are additionally strangely acceptable.

Since his Man Utd debut in February 2020, Bruno Fernandes has scored more goals  than any other player for Premier League clubs 🤯

The top five PL players with the most goals & assists since Bruno’s debut

5. Kevin De Bruyne – 33 G&A

Having won the Premier League Player of the Season award for the 2019-20 campaign, it’s no surprise that De Bruyne is on this list.

The Belgium international has 12 goals and 21 assists in his last 41 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions.

4. Son Heung-min – 34 G&A

3. Mo Salah – 34 G&A

He just doesn’t stop. Since Salah made his debut for Liverpool in 2017, no player in the Premier League has directly been involved in more league goals.

The Egypt international has maintained that consistency despite Liverpool’s injury problems in recent weeks, contributing 26 goals and eight assists since Fernandes moved to these shores.

“He is a gifted finisher, his imagination and intuition in these moments are brilliant,” Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders recently told the club’s official matchday programme. “The way he can keep the ball in the hardest situations and find a way to come out and score is what identifies him.

“Many players have this, but not many have this consistently. Then you are part of the world’s best. It’s all about the mentality to ‘never give less’.

“But for me, bigger than the achievement of the goals is his everyday presence in our club. His character is special, he is a true example. There is no bigger compliment in life. The best ones stay humble, the best ones are true examples.

“Mo invests a lot of time in his preparations, he treats his body well and we have seen him grow as a professional. His ambitions are high but his attitude in training is higher. If there is one secret in life, that would be the one.”

2. Harry Kane – 40 G&A

It’s probably a good indication of just how good Bruno Fernandes has been for Manchester United that Kane isn’t top of this list.

While 2019-20 was hardly a vintage season for the England captain, he has been absolutely ludicrous in 2020-21.
