A cast of former Reds believe that Bruno Fernandes deserves to win Manchester United's final Player-of-the-Month award for 2019/20.
The Portuguese playmaker is nominated along with Fred and Anthony Martial for the accolade, which is decided by a fan vote in our Official App.
At the time of writing, Fernandes leads Martial by a hair's breadth, but Wes Brown, David May, Ben Thornley and Danny Webber believe our January signing merits the prize.
“It's a toss up for me between Martial and Fernandes,”
said Thornley, “but I think when you look at the two penalties that he scored, I think I'll go with him. Because they're all pressure penalties, and you're relying on him. I would probably just, just, pick Bruno Fernandes over Martial.”
“You took the words out of my mouth. I was going to bring up the penalties as well. Cool head, big situations, stepped up when it mattered, so it's got to be Bruno for me.”
“Three pressure penalties [including the one against Leicester], and I would just give it him because he is a top, top player, and because he's transformed our season,”assessed May. “So, yeah, finish him off with the Player-of-the-Month [award].”
“I'm the same,”admitted Wes. “I thought Fred played excellently in that last game. He was perfect, broke up all the play, got stuck in, looked very sharp. But Bruno is the guy at the moment, and he's the guy that stands out for us.”
