Meanwhile, the fanbase has made its voice heard as Manchester United’s annual Player of the Year vote concluded, with the winner announced ahead of what could be a defining week for the club.
Bruno Fernandes has officially been crowned the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for a fourth time, equalling a club record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo and David De Gea.
The Portugal international was a runaway winner in the fan vote, underlining his importance to United despite a turbulent season for the club.
Fernandes contributed 19 goals and 19 assists in 54 matches, bringing his total goal involvements to 38 – his second-best tally since joining the club in January 2020.

His standout moments included a stunning hat-trick in the Europa League last-16 against Real Sociedad and a brace in the semi-final first leg against Athletic Club, making him joint-top scorer in the competition this season.
United’s talismanic No.8 now joins an elite group of four-time winners alongside De Gea and Ronaldo, with other past multiple winners including Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane, and Eric Cantona.
Behind Bruno Fernandes in the voting was Amad Diallo, whose strong performances late in the campaign won over many fans, though his injury absence earlier in the year may have affected his final tally.
Harry Maguire finished third after playing a key role in several crucial games, including his memorable late winner in the 5-4 thriller against Lyon at Old Trafford.
Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson also picked up awards of their own.
With the season finale looming, Bruno’s accolade is a timely reminder of his enduring influence and why United’s hopes in Bilbao could hinge on yet another moment of magic from their No.8.
