Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed that he voted for an Arsenal player to win the Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award before he went on to claim the prize himself.

🇳🇬 Here's What Happened

Fernandes made the revelation after being named the men’s PFA Players’ Player of the Year at the awards ceremony in Manchester on Tuesday, following a record-breaking 2025/26 campaign.

This was according to a video interview shared by the PFA on its official X handle on Tuesday night.

The award was voted for by fellow professional footballers, making Fernandes’ victory a recognition from the players he competes against in the Premier League.

📌 Key Details

Asked who he voted for, Fernandes said he had selected an Arsenal player but declined to reveal the identity.

“I vote for some Arsenal player. I won’t say it was, but I vote for some Arsenal player,” Fernandes said.

Fernandes, who broke the Premier League single-season assist record with 21 assists last season, said being recognised by fellow players made the award particularly special.

“I think it’s very special. Obviously, you know, when you’re voted by the people that you go against every time and they have to choose one that’s not from their team, it makes it very special for everyone,” he said.

“And I think whoever gets the hands on this trophy should be very proud of it.”

The Manchester United captain said his individual form, including his record-breaking creativity, had come from maintaining belief through the highs and lows of his career.
