“Bruno Fernandes has been named as the new club captain of Manchester United,” Manchester United added.
“The Portuguese midfielder has already worn the armband for United on numerous occasions and Erik ten Hag has confirmed that he will now lead the team on a permanent basis.”
Since joining the club in 2020, Fernandes has scored 64 goals and contributed 54 assists in just 185 matches.
