Premier League Player of the Month: Man Utd midfielder Bruno Fernandes wins monthly award for February


Man Utd midfielder Bruno Fernandes' impressive start at Old Trafford has resulted in him being named as the Premier League Player of the Month for February.

Fernandes finally arrived at Manchester United after a prolonged transfer from Sporting Lisbon, and the £46m man has looked like a bargain given the instant impact he's had on the team's fortunes.

Fernandes played every minute of United's three Premier League games in February and was by far their best performer, scoring once and adding two assists while providing a touch of quality and attacking intent from midfield.

"Since I was a kid, it was a dream to play for Man United, and to be there at Old Trafford is the biggest dream of my career," Fernandes told the Premier League's website.

"When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal's worth.

"I'm happy with my start, but from now I need to give more to be better."

Fernandes beat Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Marcos Alonso, Nick Pope and Matt Doherty to the award.
