In that time, the Portuguese midfielder has shone in the Premier League and cup competitions, and firmly established himself as a fans’ favourite.

Goals, assists, records and awards have become commonplace in Bruno’s first 12 months at Old Trafford, and we’ve crunched the numbers on our no.18’s staggering year.

APPEARANCES
