Bruno Fernandes equals Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd record! Red Devils captain named club's Player of the Year for fourth time

Portuguese playmaker Fernandes, who is club captain at Old Trafford, has scooped that award in 2025. He previously landed the prestigious Sir Matt Busby POTY prize in 2020, 2021 and 2024.

Fernandes has become just the third player in United’s glittering history to claim that accolade on four occasions. David de Gea was the first, with four Player of the Year nods secured in the space of five years between 2014 and 2018.

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo emulated the Spanish goalkeeper following his return to England. His last success came in 2022, having previously been recognised as United’s top performer in 2004, 2007 and 2008.

United legends Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Brian McClair, Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy are the only other players with multiple POTY wins to their name since the award was first handed out in 1988.

Fernandes was the runaway victor in 2025, with the 30-year-old midfielder posting 19 goals and 19 assists this season. Ivorian winger Amad Diallo finished second in the poll, with experienced defender Harry Maguire claiming third place.

Fernandes is hoping to finish a testing 2024-25 campaign on a high by getting his hands on more major silverware. United, who sit 16th in the Premier League table, are set to face domestic rivals Tottenham in the Europa League final on May 21.
