Manchester United's January signing, Bruno Fernandes, has won the Premier League's Player of the Month award for the month of February.

Fernandes, who joined United late in January has impressed the Old Trafford faithful and the PL after his debut on 1 February, making an instant impact after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in the January transfer window.

The Portuguese beat the likes of Marcos Alonso, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Matt Doherty and Nick Pope to the February award.

Fernandes played three games, helping United win two and draw one by scoring one goal and two assists in February.

"Since I was a kid it was a dream to play for Man Utd, and to be there at Old Trafford is the biggest dream of my career," said Fernandes after picking up his award last week.

"When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal’s worth.

"I’m happy with my start, but from now I need to give more, to be better."
