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.
Juan Mata sent a congratulatory message to Bruno Fernandes after he netted the winning goal to help Manchester United seal a 1-0 win over Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday.
Fernandes, donning the captain's armband for the second game in succession, brought a relatively low-key contest to life just ten minutes into the second-half, converting a fine volley from inside the penalty area.
It was a sweet, well-taken strike from the Portuguese international to open his account for the campaign. It was a brilliant ball into the box by fellow Portuguese Diogo Dalot and Fernandes made no mistake to fire United to their first away win of the season, ensuring they followed up Monday night's 2-1 triumph over Liverpool with another three-point haul.

For Fernandes, it marked his first goal since he scored in United's 3-0 win over Brentford back in May at Old Trafford. It had been a long wait for him to get back among the goals, but it was one he richly deserved in the eyes of former teammate Mata, who left Old Trafford at the end of last season.
