Overview
- On Saturday, May 23, 2026 the Premier League awarded Bruno Fernandes its Player of the Season after he finished the campaign with eight goals and 20 assists.
- Fernandes matched the Premier League single‑season assist mark previously set by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne and led the league with 132 chances created.
- Michael Carrick, who moved Fernandes back into an advanced No.10 role when he became interim manager, has been handed a multi‑year head‑coach contract after guiding United to third place.
- Fernandes goes into Manchester United’s final match at Brighton on Sunday with the chance to turn the joint‑assist record into an outright record.
- Earlier reporting about Fernandes’s contract status and a reported release‑clause has shaped summer speculation and could influence United’s transfer plans and the player’s future at the club.
