Bruno Fernandes Deserves an Award

Bruno Fernandes had a great season with Manchester United.

Paul Pogba thinks Bruno Fernandes would be a Ballon d’Or contender if he played for Manchester City. City will probably win more trophies this season.

Manchester City is a top club. If Fernandes played for Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich, he would be a Ballon D’Or contender.

Manchester United was knocked out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. Fernandes is very important to United, but might not be as important to a better team.

We need to imagine how Fernandes would do in other teams. If he helps Portugal win the World Cup, he will be a Ballon D’Or contender.

Portugal is unlikely to win the World Cup. But Fernandes can still win individual awards in England.

Fernandes should be a contender for Footballer of the Year and Player of the Year.

Declan Rice was great in the first half of the season, but his form has gone down.

Many voters choose players from teams that had a successful season. Manchester City and Arsenal might win big trophies.

It's hard to choose a player from City. Erling Haaland is very good, but we expect him to be great now.

Contenders from Arsenal are not clear. Declan Rice was great, but defenders and goalkeepers rarely win individual awards.

The last goalkeeper to win Footballer of the Year was Neville Southall in 1984-85. The last defender to win was Ruben Dias in 2020-21.

Neville Southall was the last goalkeeper to win the award.

Only one goalkeeper and one defender have won the PFA award in the last 20 years. Arsenal's strength is their defense, but it's not recognized in individual polls.

The Footballer of the Year could come from outside the top two teams. Fernandes is a deserving candidate.

Fernandes was great for his previous manager and is great for his current one. His statistics are impressive.

Fernandes is close to the record for most assists in a Premier League season. He will likely set a record for the proportion of goals he assisted.

Fernandes has 18 Premier League assists this season.

Fernandes has assisted over 31 percent of United's Premier League goals. This is a meaningful statistic.

The statistics only tell part of the story. Fernandes is great on and off the pitch.

Haaland might win Footballer of the Year, but Fernandes would be a worthy winner.
