Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for and captains Manchester United and the Portugal national team. Since joining United in January 2020, he has been one of the most productive midfielders in the world for goals and assists (G/A). He is known for his high-risk, high-reward passing style, relentless stamina, and vocal leadership. Fernandes was appointed Manchester United captain in 2023. By 2026, despite United's turbulent periods, he remained their most consistent performer and creator. He signed a new long-term contract in 2024, committing his prime years to the club. However, his on-field demeanor—often complaining to referees—remains a polarizing topic among pundits.
