The Story of Bruno Fernandes

The Portuguese white man of European descent came from a middle-class family and grew up with his older brother Ricardo. He is a rare kid who has always wanted to be a footballer. To that end, the football prodigy is not afraid of anything that might get in the way of him and his dreams.

Fernandes sacrificed a lot for football, including academics, dropping out before he finished Year 11. But unlike most dropout cases, Fernandes is neither numerically nor verbally weak. He just simply wants to work hard for football.

At Boavista FC, Bruno Fernandes has continued to improve and hone the characteristics of his current style of play. Following his efforts, Bruno Fernandes moved to Novara Calcio, where he was promoted to the club's second-tier first team after only a few weeks in the youth team.

However, at the age of 17, he found it difficult to communicate with his teammates and coaches in Italian. So homesickness became stronger and stronger, and he almost wanted to give up his dream of becoming a professional football player. Fortunately, thanks to his friends and family who have been encouraging him to support him, he has since found his footing on Italian soil.

After that, Fernandes signed with Udinese Calcio and made his Serie A debut on 3 November 2013. After three years at that club, he was loaned to the University of California. At Sampdoria, he became a rookie sought after by many teams within a year with his excellent performance.

After five years in Italy, he signed with Sporting CP in 2017. He won back-to-back Taças da Liga in 2018 and 2019, as well as the Taça de Portugal, leading to him being named in the Primeira Liga Team of the Year and Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both seasons. In 2018–19, he scored a record of 33 goals in all competitions, making him the highest-scoring Portuguese midfielder and the highest-scoring midfielder in Europe in a single season. In January 2020, Fernandes signed with Manchester United for an initial €55 million (£47 million), becoming at the time the second-highest fee for a Portuguese player leaving the domestic league. He has made more than 200 appearances for United, and has won the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

Fernandes is a former Portugal youth international, representing his country at under-19, under-20, under-21 and under-23 levels. He represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He made his senior international debut in 2017, being chosen in Portugal's squads for the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and 2022, the UEFA European Championship in 2020 and 2024, and the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals, winning the latter competition on home soil while also being named to its Team of the Tournament.
