Our no.8 scored an impressive seven strikes in just six games for Erik ten Hag's side and also registered a further two assists, proving his weight in gold when it comes to goal contributions.

Fending off stiff competition from Harry Maguire and Alejandro Garnacho, Fernandes has stepped up when needed during a vital stage of our campaign.

Having now appeared 45 times so far this season, our very own Portuguese magnifico is more than worthy of the accolade, as voted for by you, the fans.

Bruno's first goal in April came against Chelsea, as his headed effort restored parity in a back-and-forth encounter that eventual finished 4-3 to the Blues.

Just days later, his wonderful long-range effort against Liverpool helped the Reds record a 2-2 draw with the Merseysiders on home soil in the Premier League.

Our no.8 wasn't done there either, as he scored twice on the south coast against Bournemouth to help us post another point on the board.

It could have been a hat-trick too had his fierce drive from 25 yards not cannoned back off the crossbar at the Vitality Stadium.

Our progression to the Emirates FA Cup final was also helped by his influence during United's eventual penalties victory, scoring and assisting against Coventry City in normal time, before calmly converting his spot-kick when the stakes were high in the shootout.

Two more goals rounded off an impressive six appearances in April, as he was once again instrumental in our 4-2 victory over Sheffield United at Old Trafford, and set up a goal for Rasmus Hojlund.

The Portugal international also won three Man of the Match prizes, with the boss more than happy with Bruno's output as we reach the season's run-in.

“He's in very good form,” said Ten Hag. “I think when we put him in the right position, he finds the right spots.

“When he's in that position, he makes the right decisions. He can create a lot, score a goal, make assists and key actions. So we're very happy with his performance.

“He shows his leadership. But also with his energy, in his transition both ways, it's very important. He tries to encourage the team. He's doing very well and we're very pleased with his performance and with his attitude."

Scooping a whopping 72 per cent of the poll, with Maguire in second and Garnacho third, our congratulations go to Fernandes on a exemplary month for the Reds.
