Manchester United captain, Bruno Fernandes, has been named the 2026 Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year.
The award was presented at the 53rd annual PFA Awards ceremony at the Manchester Opera House in Manchester, United Kingdom, on Tuesday.
The Portuguese midfielder received the prestigious honour after being voted the best player of the 2025/26 season by his fellow professionals. The PFA announced the award on Tuesday, with Fernandes beating five other nominees in the men’s category.
The nominees were Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki, as well as Arsenal trio Declan Rice, David Raya and Gabriel Magalhães.
The award caps a remarkable individual campaign for Fernandes, who played a key role in Manchester United’s third-place finish in the Premier League and their return to the UEFA Champions League.
