Bruno Fernandes wins March award after standout United month

Manchester United have named Bruno Fernandes as their Player of the Month for March following a sequence of influential displays under Michael Carrick.

The 31-year-old Portuguese captain registered two goals, three assists and collected three Man-of-the-Match awards across the month, underlining his central role in the side’s recent form.

Fernandes’ creative numbers have reached historic levels; he has now surpassed David Beckham’s long-standing Premier League single-season assist record set in 1999/2000.

His impact was not limited to open play. The midfielder converted penalties in Old Trafford victories over Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, demonstrating the composure that has become a hallmark of his game.

March’s accolade is Fernandes’ second Player of the Month prize of the 2025/26 campaign, having previously claimed the honour in September.

Currently away on international duty with Portugal, the former Sporting CP and Udinese playmaker continues to embody the blend of productivity and leadership Carrick’s squad relies upon.

United’s announcement reaffirms the captain’s influence at M16 and caps another month in which he combined decisive goals, record-breaking creativity and calm leadership to steer the team through critical fixtures.
