Fernandes crowned Player of the Month for April

Official Manchester United Website 2024/5/18

Bruno Fernandes has been named Manchester United's Player of the Month for April.

Bruno's first goal in April came against Chelsea, as his headed effort restored parity in a back-and-forth encounter that eventual finished 4-3 to the Blues.

Just days later, his wonderful long-range effort against Liverpool helped the Reds record a 2-2 draw with the Merseysiders on home soil in the Premier League.

Our no.8 wasn't done there either, as he scored twice on the south coast against Bournemouth to help us post another point on the board.

It could have been a hat-trick too had his fierce drive from 25 yards not cannoned back off the crossbar at the Vitality Stadium.

Our progression to the Emirates FA Cup final was also helped by his influence during United's eventual penalties victory, scoring and assisting against Coventry City in normal time, before calmly converting his spot-kick when the stakes were high in the shootout.

Two more goals rounded off an impressive six appearances in April, as he was once again instrumental in our 4-2 victory over Sheffield United at Old Trafford, and set up a goal for Rasmus Hojlund.

The Portugal international also won three Man of the Match prizes, with the boss more than happy with Bruno's output as we reach the season's run-in.
