BRUNO FERNANDES has become just the second Manchester United player since 2015 to win Player of the Month in his debut month.
The Portuguese playmaker has wasted no time in hitting the ground running since his £46.4million move from Sporting Lisbon in January.
Fernandes, 25, has instantly become a fan favourite following a string of game-changing performances.
Following his debut against Wolves, the midfielder has managed four assists and three goals to bolster United’s Champions League hopes.
In February he picked up his first assist in a 2-0 win at Chelsea before scoring and assisting against Watford.
He then bagged another in a 5-0 thumping of Club Brugge to round off an impressive February.
And his form that has helped transform United’s fortunes, has earned him the Barclay’s Premier League Player of the Month.
Team-mate Anthony Martial was the last United player to claim the award on his debut month five years ago.
Incredibly it was Fernandes’ third award last month after claiming Manchester United’s Player of the Month and the PFA Player of the Month.
Remarkably he also becomes just the fourth Red Devil to claim Player of the Month in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
He joins Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2016 and Marcus Rashford last year who also won the award.
Norwich’s Teemu Pukki also boasts a record of winning the Premier League Player of the Month in his debut top-flight campaign with five goals in four games back in August.
