Wayne Rooney has reportedly named Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes among his top five players in the 2024-25 Premier League season.
The Red Devils have been in poor form in the Premier League this season with Ruben Amorim’s side sitting 14th in the table after losing 1-0 to Wolves on Sunday.
Nevertheless, in 32 Premier League games this season, Bruno Fernandes has contributed eight goals and nine assists, occasionally carrying United through games.
According to Football 365, Rooney, a former England international, chose him above other contenders from teams that have performed better than the Red Devils this season.

Asked to name his top five players this season, Rooney told Amazon Prime: “In fifth place, I think I’ll probably go with Bruno Fernandes.
“Obviously Man United haven’t had a great season but he’s been the one consistent player who keeps producing so I’ll go with Bruno for number five.
“In fourth place, I’d probably go with Morgan Gibbs-White. I think he’s had a fantastic season for Nottingham Forest, creating and scoring goals and being the main player there in my opinion.
“In third place, I’d go with Cole Palmer. I know of late he hasn’t scored the goals he did at the start of the season, but I still think he’s been really influential for Chelsea this season.
“In second place, I’d go with Isak from Newcastle. I think his all-round play, his goals, obviously scoring the goal in the final as well.
“Isak would be my number two pick and my number one pick would be Mo Salah.
“I think over the last few years his performances has been excellent and this season again it looks like he’s going to spearhead Liverpool to the title.”
