Top 30 quotes about Bruno Fernandes

With the qualities of a playmaker, a goal scorer, and leadership skills, Portuguese star Fernandes has quickly become a fan favourite at Manchester United FC. Playing and impressing with his performances in the Premier League, we take a look at the 30 top quotes about Bruno Fernandes.

Playing in Italy early in his career, he was nicknamed the ‘Maradona of Novara’ before establishing himself as the highest-scoring midfield player in Europe during a spell with Portuguese club Sporting CP.

His move to English Premier League side Manchester United was estimated to be worth in the region of 80 million Euros, and he justified his worth by top-scoring in the Europa League competition and helping the club to the final in 2021.

Lauded for his prowess as an attacking midfielder, Fernandes has teamed up with fellow Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo, having idolized the player when he was young. Competing as part of the national team, the pair helped Portugal win the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

He was one of the first main football players to disapprove of the potential European Super League last year, and was recently seen to sign a contract which could keep him at Old Trafford until 2026. One of his most endearing traits is when he impersonates his daughter when he scores a goal, by covering up his ears with both hands.
