Bruno Fernandes claimed the Premier League player of the season award after creating more chances than any other player. The Manchester United midfielder set up 132 opportunities throughout the campaign, 43 more than second-placed Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai. Fernandes becomes the first United player to receive the honor since defender Nemanja Vidic in 2011.

The award combines public votes with assessments from a panel of football experts. Arsenal contributed three nominees with David Raya, Gabriel, and Declan Rice making the shortlist. Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo, Brentford's Igor Thiago, and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White also received recognition for their performances.

United conclude their season at Brighton on Sunday, with Fernandes' individual success providing a bright spot during a challenging campaign. The Portugal international's creativity has been crucial for Erik ten Hag's side, who look to build momentum from this award into next season.
