Premier League reveals voting data on Bruno
Bruno Fernandes has won the Premier League Player of the Matchweek award for a fifth team this season… and with a record number of votes from supporters!
Fernandes was recognised followed his superb showing against Aston Villa at the weekend, in which he set up goals for Casemiro and Matheus Cunha.
That took Bruno’s Premier League assists tally for the season to 16, beating Sir David Beckham's club record of 15 from the 1999/2000 campaign. It also moved him onto 100 assists across all competitions – another remarkable achievement.

DESERVED RECOGNITION
Speaking in Wednesday's press conference at Carrington, head coach Michael Carrick was asked whether Bruno could become this season's Player of the Year.
“I think he's had a fantastic season, I have to say," said the boss. “It's not so much [about] who I would vote for, but I'm delighted that he's playing the way he is and having the impact that he is for us, and he's proving to be right up there in those conversations.
“I'd love to see him take the award, you know, and it says a lot about what's going on at this club and how the team's playing, as well as how well Bruno's playing. So, we'll have to see how that pans out, but really, really pleased with everything that he's doing at the moment.”
