Bruno Fernandes, aka the Portuguese Magnifico, needs no introduction when it comes to being a big-game player for Manchester United. Ever since he signed for the club, Fernandes has been the player that United have consistently looked towards when it comes to unlocking defenses and slotting away memorable goals.

Not just on the pitch, but off it as well, Bruno has flourished with his influence as a leader in the dressing room with a contagious winning mentality and a hunger for silverware.

With greater attacking options in Jadon Sancho on the right, Marcus Rashford on the left and Edinson Cavani leading the frontline, the upcoming season promises to be yet another record-breaking year for the Portuguese in G/A numbers and wins for his club.

The Homecoming King has arrived! In other words - Jadon Sancho is back in England and has finally signed for the Red Devils after a long drawn-out transfer saga since the summer of 2020.

Manchester United have, for a long time, been in search of a youthful winger to assume command on the right side of their attack. This year, they finally have a more-than-competent option in Sancho to add to their counter attacks and line-breaking attacking play.

Jadon Sancho, a player who has been hungrier than ever to prove a point since he first left England from the youth ranks of local rivals Manchester City, will be someone who Manchester United will greatly depend on right from the get-go to bring them ever closer to silverware this season.


#1 Edinson Cavani

At 34, Edinson Cavani seems to be aging like fine wine. He has proven that age is only a number, and that there's no stopping him anytime soon.

Diving headers to win matches, sumptuous finishes to equalize, and leading by example on the pitch are just some of the things Cavani has brought to Old Trafford. Manchester United have truly signed an experienced campaigner who has always stepped up when his team needed saving.

With Anthony Martial almost out of favor and Mason Greenwood still learning his trade, Edinson Cavani will soon be leading the United frontline with even more service from Fernandes, Rashford and Sancho as he looks to mark his final year in England by delivering much awaited silverware to the Stretford End faithful.
