Bruno Fernandes crowned best player in England

outperformed 5 players

Bruno Fernandes has been crowned Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers' Association for the 2025-2026 season.

The Manchester United star won the award on a vote by his fellow professionals, collecting it today at the PFA's annual ceremony.

Fernandes saw off five rivals for the prize. Manchester City had a pair in the running through Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki, while Arsenal boasted the biggest representation on the shortlist with three names: defender Gabriel Magalhaes, goalkeeper David Raya and midfielder Declan Rice.

This caps a fine run for the Portuguese, who has also scooped the Player of the Year gongs from the Premier League and the Football Writers' Association in England.
