Bruno Fernandes
31-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandes was a key player for Manchester United in the 2024/25 season, tallying 18 goal contributions across 36 appearances, with eight goals and 10 assists. Even though the Red Devils added Matheus Cunha in the summer, Fernandes should remain in his play-making role going forward. His usual creative spark combined with upgrades in the attacking line could translate to better numbers for Fernandes, who could easily generate 100-plus shots, 100-plus chances and 100-plus corners taken to go with his excellent scoring and assist numbers for a midfielder. Fernandes should be one of the first midfielders taken off the board in most leagues in 2025/26, which isn't anything new compared to prior seasons.
Gets assist in start
Bruno Fernandes assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Burnley.
ANALYSIS
The veteran midfielder returned to the starting lineup and delivered a big effort, including an assist, in Man United's draw. He should remain in the lineup Sunday despite being subbed off early and has a good matchup against Brighton, a team which has conceded 28 times in domestic play.

Should play Wednesday
Fernandes (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Wednesday's match against Burnley, according to interim manager Darren Fletcher. "Mason and Bruno were pushing to play against Leeds. The decision was that they weren't quite ready, so they've trained. They should be back in the squad, but they'll be on managed minutes as well, restricted minutes because obviously they've just returned to training."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for January departure?
Fernandes could leave Manchester United in the January transfer window, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Fernandes has been linked with a move away from Manchester United for quite some time, and despite his status as a key player, it wouldn't be surprising if he leaves the club in the near future. If Manchester United receive an offer that matches the club's expectations, don't rule out the possibility of the 31-year-old midfielder departing Old Trafford in the coming weeks.
