What Bruno Fernandes said after winning Premier League player of month for February

Bruno Fernandes has capped his impressive start to life at Manchester United by being named as the Premier League's Player of the Month for February.



The Portuguese midfielder moved to Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon for an initial fee of around £46.6m in January and played in every one of United's games the following month.

He played every minute of their three Premier League games, registering two assists and a goal and helping United to a 2-0 win at Chelsea and a 3-0 home victory over Watford.


“Since I was a kid it was a dream to play for Man Utd, and to be there at Old Trafford is the biggest dream of my career," said Fernandes after picking up his award last week.

“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 topped a February shortlist that also included Marcos Alonso, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Matt Doherty and Nick Pope.
