There was never this narrative when Luis Suárez, Riyad Mahrez & N’Golo Kanté won PFA POTY without playing in Europe. None of them played for Manchester United.
Of course Bruno Fernandes deserved the award. His peers voted him to win it. How is that not deserving? Every single one up for grabs went to him, wonder why.
Why should the award go to the title winners? That's quite literally what the title is for. This is for the best, most outstanding player. Not just on the best team.
Is it outstanding if it's only Premier League games.. what kind of argument is that? His goals & assists won his club the 2nd most points any individual ever has.
One of the best aspects of his season was big game performances. He scored at OT vs Chelsea & an assist at OT vs City, assists in wins at Anfield & the Emirates.
People can keep trying to pick holes but he broke what was once thought an unbreakable record. You can't 'spam' that, he created 58 more chances than anyone.
The discourse is beyond disrespectful now, but at the end of the day history will remember Bruno fondly & there's not a single thing any of them can do about it.
“He’s selfless, he’s caring, he connects every single corner of the dressing room, every single member of staff,” one departed member of staff tells The Athletic. “He’s a true Manchester United player and captain. He’s guided us through some difficult periods and maintained a high level of professionalism when he’s been under scrutiny.”
PFA Player of the Year winner Bruno Fernandes is clearly Man United's top footballer at a time when the club are a better cup side than perennial title winners, writes @AndyMitten, but will he ever realise his dream of a Premier League title?

You're not happy with Bruno Fernandes performance yesterday? Fair enough, it was a piss poor display.
If you're turning on Manchester United's Captain after one game & demanding his sale, days before he's crowned PFA Player of the Year after a record breaking season, get a life.
Not watching the game, posting AI shit is the new fanatism.
Santos and Maguire were arguably our best players on the pitch yesterday. Keeping the ball was not the prob. Performance of our key attacking players and match game prep wrt Hull (set pieces, opposition style) was.
£85m combined on Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos this summer, and both got hooked together in the 66th minute on their competitive debuts, away to a side that hadn't played top flight football in nine years. Santos got bullied out of a game he never controlled. Tielemans kept lumping hopeful balls into a box United had nobody to attack. That's not on either player. That's what happens when your two biggest midfield deals get done with the season already on top of you, no preseason together, no partnerships built. Business this late isn't ambition, it's the same pattern that's cost this club years now. Hull deserved every bit of that 2-0. #MUFC #ManchesterUnited #GlazersOut #IneosOut #GGMU
United’s trouble overcoming deep defences last season was often masked by what became a bit of a cheat code: Casemiro’s headers from set pieces to unlock games. Carrick’s biggest coaching challenge is getting this team competent at breaking these games from open play.
The worst set piece marking ever you'll see on the second goal.
Nobody is marking except Maguire.
Hull already have 9 people standing close to each other at the back, all good aerially and are loving their lives defending against attack..
Need a striker to keep them occupied.
Genuinely can’t believe we play in less than 4 days and we’ve made TWO signings for a brand new manager who came in to push UCL. Like every time I think about it I get so frustrated, puts such a dampening pressure on the season already. Cov & Ipswich have spent more.
