On the football field, Bruno Fernandes’s unwavering demeanor has long been recognized.
When the final whistle blows, the Manchester United captain, who enjoys playing the game, will do everything in his power to support his club.
See his recent injury-time victory against Fulham for more proof of his unending endurance and tenacity.
The Premier League has released its official season-to-date stats while he has been away with Portugal, helping his team finish with a perfect record in the European qualifications and scored his sixth goal of the competition against Iceland last time out.
Fernandes is one of the division’s most active players, according to their data.
MOST DISTANCE RUN IN 2023/24
138.2 km: Christian Norgaard (Brentford)
137.2 km: BRUNO FERNANDES (UNITED)
137.1 km: Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton)
135.9 km: Dejan Kulusevski (Tottenham)

Only Christian Norgaard of Brentford has covered more ground in the Premier League this season, according to the data. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Bruno has also been managing his obligations for the Champions League, participating in all four of our games in Europe.
For the other five players in the rankings, this is not the case.
In terms of individual games, Hannibal, Bruno’s midfield colleague, has sprinted the furthest in any league encounter for United in 2023–2024.
The Academy alumnus recorded a time of 12.9 km in the victory against Burnley, while Christian Eriksen’s 12.75 km versus Brighton on the opening weekend was our next-best in this category.
On one chart, however, Fernandes outperforms all of his teammates in terms of tackling—he has made 28 for Erik ten Hag’s team thus far.
