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.
Jonathan Greening believes Manchester United fans are beginning to get frustrated with Paul Pogba, while Bruno Fernandes must be dropped if his form doesn't improve.
The Frenchman was sent off just minutes after his introduction in the 5-0 defeat against Liverpool and although he featured against Atalanta in the Champions League, he faces an extended period on the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury on international duty.
For Fernandes, his dip in form has coincided with the misfortune at Old Trafford after a torrid autumn run led to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
It was another uninspiring display from the Portuguese playmaker as he struggled to get a foothold in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday.
