Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes explained how impressed he’d been with Mason Mount’s performances with Chelsea this season.


Speaking to the official United magazine, Fernandes was listing potential players of the year from outside Old Trafford’s walls.

The Portuguese talisman, alongside fellow countryman Ruben Dias, are firm favourites to pick up this award.

Other high hitters like Harry Kane, Ilkay Gundogan, and Kevin De Bruyne are also in the running.

But Fernandes felt that Mount deserved recognition for his contribution towards Chelsea’s campaign.


He said: “For example, I really like Mason Mount – he’s been consistent from the beginning of the season but, if people will watch numbers, he’s not had so many goals as other players or assists as other players but, for me, as a performance he’s been really, really top.”
