Bruno Fernandes is a worthy winner of FWA award. He’s been the beacon of #MUFC this season.
First United player to be voted top since Wayne Rooney in 2010, which came in a period when six winners were not Premier League champions ⬇️

The @WorldBankGroup has recognised industrial policy can deliver after decades of advising against it. But new conclusions do not automatically produce new economics. The Bank still treats the state as a fixer of market failures rather than a market creator and shaper. The question is not whether governments intervene after markets have failed — it is what kind of economy we want to build in the first place.
New in @ProSyn with @LaraMerling on the new economics we need, and how the Global Council on New Economics for the 21st Century, co-chaired with Deputy Prime Minister @Carlos_Cuerpo, aims to deliver updated economic principles organised around justice, equality, sustainability and global solidarity, translated into a framework progressive governments can act on.

Bruno Fernandes is "unlikeable"... Okay, what about this then???
* Spotted a passenger collapsing on an EasyJet flight to Lisbon and rushed to catch him, shouting for medical assistance and staying with the man until he was stable.
* Auctioned his match-worn shirt and boots from a Manchester Derby victory to raise over £700,000 for two siblings battling a rare form of cancer.
* A dedicated ambassador for mental health awareness, actively participating in the "Inside Matters" campaign to encourage fans to check in on their loved ones.
* Regularly spends his personal time visiting children's hospices and hospitals, especially during the festive season, to hand-deliver gifts and lift the spirits of young patients.
* Used his global platform during the pandemic to champion the efforts of healthcare workers, specifically highlighting the frontline work of his brother in the NHS.
* Widely praised by supporters for being exceptionally approachable, often stopping to have genuine conversations with fans rather than just signing a quick autograph.
* Acts as a protective mentor for younger players at Manchester United, consistently taking the heat in interviews to shield his teammates from criticism.
* Discreetly supports various local food banks and community foundations in both Manchester and Portugal without seeking media attention for his donations.
* Offered to pay for the travel and accommodation of Manchester United staff for the 2024 Wembley trip out of his own pocket after club budget cuts.
* Personally organized and funded a team-bonding steak dinner for the entire squad to boost morale during a difficult run of form.
* Arranged extra tickets and travel for the Manchester United Women’s team so their families could watch them in the FA Cup final.
* Keeps in touch with former club staff who were made redundant, regularly checking in on their well-being and job searches.
* Took new signings like Matheus Cunha and Leny Yoro out for breakfast and assisted them in finding homes to help them settle into the city.
* Invited 7-year-old Bobby, who suffers from a rare genetic condition, to the Theatre of Dreams to walk out as a mascot by his side.
* Frequently sends surprise care packages with signed shirts and personal notes to fans he interacts with on social media or in person.
* Presented the "Community Captain" award to local foundation participants, spending hours hearing their stories and offering encouragement.
* Famously engaged with a fan who vowed not to cut his hair until United won a trophy, even offering a hilarious response once the streak ended.
* Actively supports Casa Ronald McDonald and Make-A-Wish Portugal, providing both financial aid and personal visits to families with ill children.
* Stepped in to offer financial and logistical support to the Portuguese club Aves when they were facing a severe financial crisis.
All of this done 'off-the-pitch' to be labeled as unlikeable is insane.
