Former Barcelona star, Gary Lineker has named Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes as his Player of the Season.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker praised the Portuguese midfielder for his exceptional intelligence on the pitch of play.
His comments come in the wake of Fernandes’ standout performance that contributed to Man United’s 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
“He operates across the pitch, from the left wing to the right wing…what a brain!” Lineker said.
“For me, he’s the player of the season. I know they’ll probably give it [the award] to someone who’s going to win something.
“For me, it’s probably him or maybe Declan Rice if Arsenal go on and manage to clinch the title.”
