• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Fernandes has become just the third player in United’s glittering history to claim that accolade on four occasions. David de Gea was the first, with four Player of the Year nods secured in the space of five years between 2014 and 2018.

  Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo emulated the Spanish goalkeeper following his return to England. His last success came in 2022, having previously been recognised as United’s top performer in 2004, 2007 and 2008.

  United legends Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Brian McClair, Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy are the only other players with multiple POTY wins to their name since the award was first handed out in 1988.
