Bruno Fernandes is named PFA Players’ Player of the Year, completing a major awards run for his 2025-26 season with Manchester United. The award recognizes him as voted by fellow professionals after performances that include breaking the Premier League assist record with 21 assists, alongside nine goals. The Times of India also reports he leads United to a third-place finish.

Both outlets link the recognition to his individual output, particularly his assist milestone. The Independent frames the award as another layer of personal recognition following his record-breaking campaign. Times of India adds further context, saying Fernandes is Manchester United’s first winner of the PFA Players’ Player award since Wayne Rooney in 2010, and highlights the extent of his “awards hat-trick.”
