Man Utd announce that Bruno Fernandes wins club's Player Of the Month for March in a row with 1 goal and 2 assists. Congratulations!
Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has outlined the qualities that have earned Bruno Fernandes successive Player-of-the-Month awards since he joined the club earlier this year.
The Portugal international has been a revelation since joining the Reds and picks up the March Player-of-the-Month trophy today, after landing the overall Premier League prize for February.
Although the current pause in action has halted his progress, the attacking midfielder looks very much at home at Old Trafford already and beat off competition from Odion Ighalo, Fred and Harry Maguire to scoop the accolade.
Former England skipper Robson believes Bruno's integration into the group has been swift because he has seen it first hand.
“I think it’s been a terrific impact and the first signs are he looks like a top player,” Robson told us. “He is always on the move, always wanting the ball, has got a great touch and makes double movements, a bit like Scholesy used to do.
“It’s where you go one way and come back and you’ve got a couple of yards of space, so he can get on the ball in that way. His energy levels and pace looks really good and he has showed he can hit a pass and score goals. So the initial period where he’s been at the club looks great. Great signs. He just needs to work on his heading ability!"
