The 'Red Devils' captain received the most votes from the players, replicating his victory in the Premier League election in May.

"It's those who play against us on the field who vote, and it's probably not easy to vote for someone who plays against you, so it's a great moment," said Bruno Fernandes.

In the 2025/26 Premier League, the Brazilian player scored nine goals and provided a record 21 assists.

Jamaican Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw, of Manchester City, won the women's award, repeating her 2024 triumph.
