The new generation core of Portugal: Bruno Fernandez
Bruno Fernandez is such an interesting player!
Born on September 8, 1994 in the small inland town of Maja in the Porto metropolitan area of Portugal, B Fei dreamed of becoming a professional footballer from an early age under the influence of his father. In particular, among several siblings, the older brother Ricardo had played professional football in some small teams, so the childhood B fee put football first.
In 2002, his parents sent him to the Infanta Juniors to practice football. In 2003, he transferred to boavista junior team for training, until August 2012, when he transferred to the Apennines for 40,000 euros to join Serie B Novara and played in the second team.
At that time, B Fei was thin and dry, and according to his recollection, the coach would supervise him to eat the whole piece of raw beef before each meal to improve his physical toughness! Throughout the 12-13 season, B Fee made 21 appearances for the adult group in Serie B, sending 4 goals and 2 assists, which attracted the attention of some big club scouts on the sidelines. In July 2013, Udinese took a fancy to him, and the young B Fee began a serie A career!

In July 2016, Fernandez became a member of the Portuguese Olympic Team to participate in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, making three appearances and providing two assists, but portugal was deterred from the quarter-finals. At this time, no one in his country still noticed him, and he was still just an ordinary Serie A player under the aura of C Ronaldo.
In August 2016, B Fee was loaned to Sampdoria by Udinese, and on March 4, 2017, in the 27th round of the league against Pescara, B Fee scored 1 goal and assisted 2 times in the match.

But B Fee, who left Serie A, did not regret it, and has since begun a successful football career!

On 26 January 2019, in the Portuguese League Cup final, B Fee continued to help Sport win the title through a penalty shootout against Porto 4-2. Throughout the 2018-19 season, he has become the absolute core of the team, making 53 appearances in the league, Europa League, Portuguese Cup and Portuguese League Cup, scoring 32 goals and assisting 18 times, breaking the record of 27 goals set by England player Lampard in a single season, and the record of 43 goals in a single season set by Belgian Belgian de Bruyne in a single season.

In January 2020, B Fei's football career ushered in a great opportunity: fame and strength manchester United transferred him from sports to the Premier League for 55 million euros, and the two sides signed for five and a half years. This is undoubtedly an incredible signing and a huge challenge for a player who was once more mediocre in Serie A, but the mature B fee is ready! On 1 February, Manchester United drew 0-0 with Wolves in the 25th round of the Premier League, and B Fee completed the first game for the club. On 23 February, the 27th round of the Premier League B fee made a point and took the penalty to receive his debut goal for Manchester United. At the end of half a season, B Fei played in 14 Premier League games and handed over 8 goals and 7 assists, directly participating in 15 goals for the most in the Premier League in the same period, and thus also created the best record for new signings in the league winter window that season. In the 20-21 season, B Fee was even more magical, scoring 28 goals and assisting 17 times in 58 appearances in all competitions, becoming one of the brightest stars in the Premier League!

On 1 April, United announced that they would be about 2026 with the new core of the Portuguese national team, B. Fernandez, and continue to rebuild him as a central figure for next season!
From an unknown player, through the tepidness of Serie A to the current Premier League, B Fei explains the importance of perseverance and progress, of course, it also shows how perfect his fit with Manchester United is, just like The Players who seemed to be born for this club like Cantona and Schmeichel! This season's Red Devils are doomed to nothing, and all the rebuilding and hope is put on next season. The Portuguese core will still be an important player under the new manager's account, but the responsibility for revival in front of him will still not be easy, and the road will still be difficult to smooth.
