7M - Bruno Fernandes matches Cristiano Ronaldo with sixth Premier League Player of the Month award

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been named Premier League Player of the Month for March 2026, marking his sixth time receiving the honor. The Portuguese midfielder now equals compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, who also holds six awards, placing them joint second on the all-time list.

Fernandes has been instrumental in Manchester United's attacking play this season, demonstrating consistent form at Old Trafford. His previous win came in March 2025, highlighting the difficulty of securing the award repeatedly. Notably, Fernandes remains the only player to have won the monthly prize in four separate months within a single calendar year, achieving this feat in 2020 with selections in February, June, November, and December.

The current record for most Premier League Player of the Month awards stands at seven, shared by Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane, and Sergio Aguero. With his recent form, Fernandes is well positioned to challenge for the outright lead, potentially adding April or May honors to his tally. He now sits level with Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard on six awards as he continues to drive Manchester United's push for European qualification.
