    Bruno Fernandes was named Premier League’s best player,  Nuno was named March Manager of the Month

    Published on

    Manchester United’s midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, has been honored as the Premier League’s Player of the Month for March, while Nottingham Forest’s manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has received the managerial accolade for the same month.

    Despite the month being shortened due to the international break, it proved to be a successful one for Manchester United, who remained unbeaten in their two Premier League fixtures against Arsenal and Leicester City.

    Fernandes was instrumental in all four of United’s goals during these games; he assisted on two more goals and scored twice himself, for a career total of 50 Premier League assists.

    With this accomplishment, Fernandes becomes one of the league’s all-time greats and receives his sixth Player of the Month honor. Along with well-known athletes like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, he currently holds the third-highest number of awards.

    With seven each, Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, and Mohamed Salah top the all-time list, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard with six.

    Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager, has won the Premier League Manager of the Month title three times this season, further highlighting his impressive leadership at Nottingham Forest.

    With a resounding 1-0 triumph against Manchester City and a decisive success over relegation-threatened Ipswich Town, the squad is making an incredible drive for possible Champions League qualifying under his leadership.

    After receiving this most recent honor, Nuno now has seven Manager of the Month honors in his career, ranking sixth all-time along with Mikel Arteta and Rafa Benitez.

    Jurgen Klopp (2019–20), Pep Guardiola (2017–18), and Arteta (2022–2023) are among the few managers who have accomplished the incredible accomplishment of winning the award four times in a single season, with Klopp having five.
