Manchester United's talisman Bruno Fernandes was arguably the best midfielder in the Premier League last season.

The Portugal international has proved to be a revelation since joining the Red Devils. He has added some much-needed creativity to their midfield, while his drive, intensity and leadership ability have all been visible throughout the season.

Fernandes's tremendous fitness saw him play in almost every game for Manchester United last season. The 26-year old has not been as influential for Portugal at Euro 2020, where his performances have been criticized.


#2 Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)

The Raumdeuter continues to be an effective presence for both club and country, and it is no surprise that he is regarded as one of the best in the world.

A product of Bayern Munich's academy, Thomas Muller has enjoyed a trophy-laden career with the Bundesliga giants. The 31-year old is a highly effective footballer, not aesthetically pleasing but a clever player capable of making a nuisance of himself.

Muller is a unique footballer, but there is no denying the end result. Capable of playing anywhere across the forward line, the Germany international has been praised for his calmness and capability to create and score.


#1 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in world football right now, a fact that even fans of rival clubs will have no hesitation in accepting.

The Belgium international has been sensational at Manchester City. One of the best creators in football, De Bruyne's passing ability, his vision and his drilled crosses into the box have all been crucial cogs in how Pep Guardiola's Manchester City attack.

The 29-year old once again showed his quality at Euro 2020 in Belgium's group stage game against Denmark. Manchester City are one of the best club sides in Europe and De Bruyne is arguably their most important player.
