Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Portugal manager Roberto Martinez insists Bruno Fernandes is still desperate to play football after a long and arduous season with Manchester United.
Fernandes starred on Saturday as Portugal beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0 in their latest Euro 2024 qualifier, assisting Manchester City man Bernardo Silva for the opener before scoring twice himself in the second half.
The June internationals have come under criticism in recent weeks for over-working players at the end of a long campaign, and few have been pushed as hard as Fernandes.
The 28-year-old played 59 times for United, with only goalkeeper David De Gea racking up more than his 5,156 club minutes. Add to that a World Cup and other international breaks, and the midfielder has racked up an incredible 69 appearances in total.
