Bruno Fernandes has been named as the new club captain of Manchester United.
The Portuguese midfielder has already worn the armband for United on numerous occasions and Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he will now lead the team on a permanent basis.
Fernandes has scored 64 goals and contributed 54 assists in just 185 games for the club since joining in 2020.
As captain, the two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year will continue to drive the highest standards throughout the squad as United push for success in the 2023/24 season and beyond.
Fernandes was fiercely criticized after United’s 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool but he responded by showing real leadership on the pitch, helping inspire United to finish third in the league and reach the FA Cup final. He also played in almost every match, showing remarkable ability to recover from gruelling matches and even injury
