The Manchester United captain received the prestigious award after making a historic 21 assists in the past season. The winner is voted for by fellow players, making it particularly meaningful for Fernandes.
Fernandes was nominated alongside Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki, as well as Arsenal trio Declan Rice, Gabriel, and David Raya. On the women's side, Manchester City's Bunny Shaw won the award. The PFA has been giving awards in English football since the 1973/74 season. catcrossgame.com
