The 28-year-old joined Manchester United in 2020 from Sporting Lisbon and since then, he has become an important figure for the Red Devils. In 185 appearances for MU in all competitions, Bruno has scored 64 goals and 54 assists.

The friendly match against Arsenal on Sunday (23/7/2023) will be the first moment for Bruno Fernandes to lead his team as the permanent captain of Manchester United.
