Manchester: Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has tipped Bruno Fernandes, the team's captain, to win the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Year award after he provided his 19th assist in the Premier League 2025/26 season in Manchester United's 2-1 home win over Brentford on Monday.
According to Thai News Agency, Fernandes provided the assist for Benjamin D€¦¾eko, who scored to give Manchester United a 2-0 lead against Brentford late in the first half at Old Trafford. He now needs just two more assists from his remaining four games to break the record for most assists in a single season, currently held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne at 20.
Based on Captain Bruno's outstanding performance, Carrick believes the Portuguese international is fully deserving of the PFA Player of the Year award.
