Fernandes wins Premier League Player of the Month award after impressive start to Man Utd career

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month for February after making a huge impact at Old Trafford following his €55 million (£50m/$61m) winter move from Sporting.

United finally managed to lure the Portugal international away from Jose Alvalade Stadium after many months of speculation on January 30, tieing the mercurial playmaker down to a five-and-a-half-year contract.

The 25-year-old has adapted to the demands of English football quicker than anyone could have predicted, with an eye-catching debut during a 0-0 home draw against Wolves showing a glimpse of what was to come.
