A sparkling February earned Bruno Fernandes the Premier League Player of the Month award, re-asserting his influence on Manchester United’s midfield. The captain notched 4 goals and 3 assists in 5 fixtures, driving United to 13 points that revived European hopes. He opened with a 25 yard free kick at Leicester, then curled a late winner versus Everton, bookending masterclasses at Molineux and Selhurst. Stats showed he led the division for key passes and expected assists across the spell. Analysts credit a positional tweak: Ten Hag allowed Fernandes to drop deeper, dictating tempo while Mount’s pressing created space. Accepting the award at Carrington, Fernandes praised teammates and medical staff for managing a December ankle knock. Contract talks are reportedly advanced, securing his creative heartbeat into his thirties. If February’s displays signal the future, opponents may find stopping him more daunting than ever.
