The indomitable nature that Bruno Fernandes possesses on the football pitch has been well-established for a long time.
When the final whistle blows, the captain of Manchester United will cover every blade of grass in an effort to assist his side. He is passionate about playing the game.
Recent events against Fulham, where he scored the game-winning goal in injury time, provided additional evidence of his infinite stamina and perseverance.
As he has been away with Portugal, assisting his country in achieving a perfect record in the European qualifications, and scored against Iceland in his most recent match, which was his sixth strike in the competition, the Premier League has revealed its official stats for the season up to this point.
Their statistics lend credence to the notion that Fernandes is among the players in the division who exhibits the highest level of energy.
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)
It is important to keep in mind that Bruno has also been dealing with Champions League duties, since he has played in all four of our matches in Europe. The data shows that Christian Norgaard, who plays for Brentford, is the only player who has covered more ground so far during this season’s Premier League.
On the other hand, this is not the case with the members of the top five players.
Hannibal, who plays in the middle of the field for United, is the player who has done the most in terms of individual matches during the 2023–24 season. Bruno is not the player who has done the most in any league match.
During the victory over Burnley, the Academy graduate posted a figure of 12.9 kilometers, with Christian Eriksen’s 12.75 kilometers against Brighton on the opening weekend being our next-best in this category.
On one particular metric, however, Fernandes outperforms all of his teammates. He has made 28 tackles for Erik ten Hag’s team so far, making him the leader in this category.
