Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was announced as the winner of the Football Writers Association’s men’s footballer of the year award.
The Portuguese maestro played a crucial role in the Red Devils securing qualification to the UEFA Champions League despite sacking Ruben Amorim midway through the season.
Despite finishing another campaign without a trophy, the FA Cup winner from two seasons ago has found a new lease of life under interim manager Michael Carrick.
The 31-year-old has contributed eight goals and 20 assists in the Premier League this season and is within the cusp of breaking the season-record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne.
Fernandes is the first player from United to win the award since Wayne Rooney in 2010.
