Man of the Match following Everton v Man Utd in the Premier League | 22 February 2025
Topping the poll with a sizeable 58 per cent of the fan vote is our captain, Bruno Fernandes.
Sometimes, when the chips are down — as they were on Merseyside following the first half — you need your leaders spark a revival, sometimes from nothing, and Fernandes certainly played that role today.
Shaping up for his second free-kick in quick succession, after the ball was handled by Everton in the first instance, the Portugal international was clever in aiming for the far side when Pickford had expected an effort lifted over the wall.
His quick thinking earned United a foothold in the game, and visibly lifted the side’s confidence, which is bound to have played a role in the equaliser to following just minutes later.
