The Portuguese midfielder beat out Arsenal's Declan Rice and Manchester City's Erling Haaland for the award, which is voted on by the English football press. This marks the first time a United player has won the honor since Wayne Rooney in the 2009\u002F10 season, ending a 15-year wait for the club.\n\nThe award is a testament to Fernandes's extraordinary individual season, even as Manchester United fell short in the major trophy races. While Rice is captaining Arsenal to a title challenge and Haaland is the league's top scorer for City, Fernandes's creative output was deemed unmatched. He finished the campaign with 19 assists, just one short of the all-time Premier League single-season record held jointly by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. His vision was further highlighted by a staggering 120 chances created, nearly double the total of the next-best player, Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai with 65.\n\nFernandes's influence was pivotal in Manchester United's resurgence under interim manager Michael Carrick. Following the departure of Rúben Amorim, Carrick guided the club back into the UEFA Champions League, a competition where United were once perennial contenders. This return to Europe's elite table, fueled by Fernandes's leadership and creativity, provided the backdrop for his individual recognition. The FWA award has a rich history at Old Trafford, with previous winners including club legends like Bobby Charlton, George Best, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, and Cristiano Ronaldo.\n\nThe list of United's FWA winners reads like a hall of fame: Johnny Carey (1948\u002F49), Bobby Charlton (1965\u002F66), George Best (1967\u002F68), Eric Cantona (1995\u002F96), Roy Keane (1999\u002F00), Teddy Sheringham (2000\u002F01), Cristiano Ronaldo (2006\u002F07 & 2007\u002F08), and Wayne Rooney (2009\u002F10). Fernandes now adds his name to this illustrious roll call for the 2025\u002F26 season, becoming the first Portuguese winner since Ronaldo.\n\nThe decision to honor Fernandes over players who may lift the league trophy underscores the writers' appreciation for pure, game-changing performance. It highlights how a single player's creativity can define a team's season, even without the ultimate collective prize. For United, the award is a silver lining and a validation of their talisman's world-class ability.\n\nLooking ahead, Fernandes's form will be crucial as United aim to build on their Champions League qualification. The challenge will be to translate his individual brilliance into sustained team success and a genuine title challenge. His near-record assist tally shows he has the tools to unlock any defense; the next step is consistency across a full campaign.\n\nThe award also serves as a reminder of the shifting landscape in English football. While the title race has been dominated by Arsenal and Manchester City, individual excellence can emerge from any club. Fernandes's win proves that standout performances are recognized regardless of the final league standings.\n\nFor the Football Writers' Association, the choice reaffirms their role in identifying the most technically gifted and influential player of the season. In a league filled with superstars, Fernandes's unique blend of leadership, chance creation, and clutch performances made him the standout candidate.\n\nBased on reporting from Voetbal International.","news","Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes wins the FWA Footballer of the Year, ending a 15-year drought for the club.
