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.
Manchester United have been told who should become their next captain by former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit. Currently Harry Maguire is the club's captain, however he has found playing time hard to come by recently thanks to the form of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
With Maguire dropped to the bench, Bruno Fernandes has been wearing the armband in his absence. However, according to Petit, the Portuguese star does not have the necessary qualities to be United's leader on a matchday.
In his opinion, Christian Eriksen should be handed the honour. ALSO READ: Four United players who have stepped up for Ten Hag Explaining his decision to Lord Ping, Petit said: "The one player that should receive the Manchester United captaincy is Christian Eriksen.
He has the personality and the character and he always gives the best version of himself on the pitch. "Raphael Varane has played at a very good level, but he's very shy and doesn't have the temper or the personality to be the Manchester United captain." There have been calls to replace Maguire permanently as captain for some time.
