Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes was named the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) Player of the Year on Tuesday. The 31-year-old midfielder, who has been a United player since 2020, helped the club finish third in the English Premier League. Fernandes provided a Premier League-record 21 assists during the 2025-26 season, scoring nine goals in the process.
Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw won the Women's Player of the Year award for the second time, following her 2024 victory. Fernandes is the second Portuguese player to win the award, with Cristiano Ronaldo achieving the feat twice in a row in 2007 and 2008. Coach Michael Carrick allowed United's front four more freedom, which helped Fernandes thrive. The Young Player of the Year award went to Manchester City left back Nico O'Reilly.
