Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been named the PFA Player of the Year after a remarkable 2025–26 season, becoming only the second Portuguese player to win the award after Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fernandes recorded a Premier League record 21 assists and scored nine goals, helping Manchester United finish third. Ronaldo previously won the award in consecutive years, in 2007 and 2008.
The 31-year-old was also included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year, while Manchester City youngster Nico O'Reilly won the Young Player of the Year award.
