Bruno Fernandes’ tireless character on the football field has long been acknowledged.

The Manchester United captain enjoys the game and will cover every blade of grass to help his team when the final whistle blows.

Consider his recent injury-time winner at Fulham, which demonstrated his endless stamina and perseverance.

The Premier League has revealed its official data for the season so far while he has been away with Portugal, helping his team secure a perfect record in European qualifiers and scored against Iceland last time out, his sixth strike in the competition.

Their statistics confirm the notion that Fernandes is one of the division’s most dynamic players.

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)

134.6 km: Conor Gallagher (Chelsea)

Only Brentford’s Christian Norgaard has covered more ground in the Premier League this season, according to the stats, and it’s worth noting that Bruno has also been dealing with Champions League commitments, appearing in all four of our European games.

This is not the case for the other top five players.

In terms of individual matches, Bruno’s midfield partner Hannibal has run the furthest in any league matchup for United in 2023/24.

The Academy graduate ran 12.9 kilometers in the win over Burnley, with Christian Eriksen running 12.75 kilometers against Brighton on the opening weekend.

Fernandes, on the other hand, leads all of his teammates in tackling, with 28 tackles for Erik ten Hag’s team so far.
