Although I agree about the contribution of Bruno, on the spot shot and in general, I believe Solskajer need to use Bruno better and give him some rest when possible. Solskajer does not give Bruno the rest he should have. The performance of Bruno in the Europa League final is a proof of exhaustion from Bruno.

It is not a new story, and in the third season of Bruno in Manchester United, the coach should treat him better with more rest. Solskajer think like Hey if I don't let Bruno plays, I will be sacked. Terrible.

I agree with you. In the 20/21 season, Bruno Fernandes almost played in every English Premier League match (only in the last match he was not included in the squad). For Solskajer, Bruno Fernandes was a key player and it should be played if Fernandes was not injured.

Supposedly for matches that are not too crucial, Solskajer should give Bruno Fernandes a chance to rest, so that when important matches are in progress, Fernandes can bring out his best performance.

He made way to his fame in the league suddenly and earned the admiration he got. Ranking amongst the top goals scorers and was very impressive in most of his match appearances. I think the Manchester United team had a role to play as to how much he got. Had it been he was in a team like Manchester City for instances, I don't know how much playing opportunity he might have got but with this sort of performance at Manchester United, he would have had a far performance with Manchester City.
Bruno Fernandes actually knows where he can play better for him to be rewarded for the hard work been done, Bruno is a versatile player that knows he can do what ever he could to fit in every clubs, Manchester city is not a bad club that can't bring out the best of him, but rather Bruno can still perform excellently in every clubs he finds himself , give a player a chance and watch his performance before you can judge his style of play, you just have to be straight forward and have the zeal of accommodating other players to be free with you., if that habit been actualize, then a player can finds peace an perform best in any clubs.

Regardless of the fact that majority of the goals Bruno scored this season were from the spot, it doesn't change the fact that his contribution to Man Utd's team is what got them that far in the premier and in Europe. After his arrival from Lisbon, it didn't take long for him to start impressing. Even in his first few matches, he made several impacts in the team. I have no doubt he'd deliver the same quality if he was in another team. Not to mention he has leadership qualities too. I'm a Liverpool fan but I'd appreciate a good player when I see one.
Bruno has a good penaty shot skill and his confidence is huge. If any people think penalty shot is easy, please ask Messi, Ronaldo, Beckham, Lampard and many stars. They can succeed and can fail with penalty shots. The rate of successful shots from Bruno is impressive.

I'm not sure if Bruno Fernandes was at Manchester City he would have had more chances.

His game was no better than most Manchester City players, many goals came from penalty kicks.

I think that Ruben Dias had a great season. He definitely strengthened Manchester City's defense a lot. Because Manchester City were having bigger problems on defense before him. It is arguable whether he was the right player to be chosen as the best player of the last season. But he was one of the bests to me.

That award was well deserved. Man city's defense was shit before Dias was brought in and he provide a fix that helped city throughout the season.

Dias deserves to be POTY, he came in as a new signing & controlled the defence. City struggled a little at CB the season before, he came in & greatly improved them. I can’t think of anybody else who really deserves it instead of him.
I like the fact that defenders are now given the respect they deserves, everything shouldn't be about goals and assists, in this case defenders will be able to win the Balon d'or just it was before. I didn't see much of Dias last season but I've not seen a single person go against the award.

I was actually quite surprised when Ruben Dias was chosen as the best Premier League player for the 2020/2021 season. Even though Dias had
to compete with eight other names. Like Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Harry Kane, Bruno Fernandes and so on. Finally Dias won the vote,
Dias was immediately able to adapt to other Manchester City players after being brought in from Benfica. Dias managed to keep Man City's defense well,
Dias also managed to match 3 other defenders who won the Premier League best player award. Like Nemanja Vidic, Vincent Kompany and Virgil Van Dijk
who had previously felt as the best Premier League player too. I also hope the defenders can win the Balon D'or, we'll see if next season Dias can
play well again like this season.

I would say Ruben Dias deserved it as much as anyone else, I was rooting for Bruno Fernandes, dude is such a smart player that allowed United to be at the second place, he was really way too good compared to others in his team, and even though players like greenwood, martial and rashford all provided something I felt like Fernandes was the reason they were that good. However it makes sense to give it to a player whose team won the league, that makes more sense. Which is why I think it is quite good that he won it.

Ilkay was very good for a while there as well, dude managed to be the best player on that team for few weeks in a row during their superb win streak, but he wasn't consistent and that made Ruben won, he wasn't the best every week, but he was always him every week, same thing without any drop in performance and that is a very important part of winning these awards.

While Ruben Dias (also a Manchester City player) was confirmed the Premier League player of the season. Manchester City performance was impressive this season.
Pep Guardiola also won the award for manager of the season, thus City did a clean sweep of all the individual awards as expected, it was indeed a wonderful season for City, not just in the EPL, but in every competition, perhaps it would have been their best ever season if they had won the UCL, but notwithstanding, they still had a great campaign and can build on it and prolly win the CL next season.

I think Dias is a long term replacement for Vincent Kompany, City struggled so much in defense when Kompany left, but since the acquisition of Ruben, it's more like he has just filled the gap left open in City's defense, and they'll definitely enjoy his services for many years to come.
Now it has proven that Mancity can be a lot of the best players and Pep is indeed one of them, this probably carves out in terms of the game they have so this individual award has been a lot this season and I say Pep Guardiola is the best coach of all time.

Ruben Dias is a defense that must be defended, this is indeed an icon where Mancity is able to have stronger prisoners, so it's no wonder Ruben Dias is the best player this season
All awards are in all Mancity players.

It is easy to choose a winner in the champions team, Manchester City. In this season, the contribution of De Bruyne is not dominant as past seasons. It gives Ruben Dias to take the spot light in Manchester City.

However I agree that there are better players from other teams. I will choose Harry Kane, not Salah or Bruno. I am not a fan of Kane but he is the top scorer and the top assist, why not Kane is a surprise.

Kane evolves his skills in this season too much and he deserves to be called as the Best player of the year.

He is a good defender but not deserve to be the Player of the season 2020/2021.

Like I said I was surprised by decision Ruben Dias to become Player of the season 2020/2021. It should be Harry Kane who won the awards,
maybe because Kane failed to help Tottenham get into the Champions League spot, a consideration not to choose Kane. Still, I also find it strange
that Dias was elected to beat the other candidates. Because there are many other players who are more deserving in my opinion, but because
the decision has been made, then we all have to accept it.


Strikers are only judged by the number of goals. For the rest, they are not judged about anything. Who was the goal top scorer?
 Midfielders can be judged much better because they make much more actions and set out lines in a team.
Probably Ruben Dias making a top transfer. I also found Kane a bit disappointing this year. He's had better seasons. That player Fernandez from United was in some matches also very impressive.

I also hope the defenders can win the Balon D'or, we'll see if next season Dias can
play well again like this season.
We have had few defenders won it in the past so it wouldn't be a something new but we just want to see it more often and it shouldn't be given based on goals only but overall statistics of a player. If France won the euros them the possibility of Kante making it to top 3 ballon d'or contender is possible.

Actually they were struggling a lot in defence until Dias came in. They bought Nathan Ake and had experienced players like Otamendi then which wasn't enough to plug the hole in defence but City defence line improve a lot after Dias came in and he actually quite early than the time expected. He is one of the key players behind the PL win last season.

Honestly now if I think back about last season, there wasn't any real team to give City a good contest. Chelsea could have been one or maybe Liverpool but one had bad run at start with Lampard with his strict selections and poor management and Liverpool had injuries to their key players.

It was a really weird season. Normally there is only 1 team that really participates for the championship, that is Man city. Chelsea may have won the champions league, but are normally not good and sharp enough in too many games. although I think that tuchel has things in order. it would be nice if it got a little more exciting than the last few years, when the difference was really huge every time.

Manchester City midfielder, Phil Foden was announced the winner of the 2020/2021 Premier League young player of the season. He performed greatly in the Manchester City this season, scored 9 goals and 5 assist. Although I thought Mason Mount was going to win the award, but Foden won instead. A big Congratulations to him.

While Ruben Dias (also a Manchester City player) was confirmed the Premier League player of the season. Manchester City performance was impressive this season. They however won three Premier League titles in four years.

Ruben Dias deserved this award. When he was transferred from Benfica, the attention was on him as he paid a very high transfer fee. However, the Portuguese football player who won the award of 2021 showed that this money was not wasted. If Manchester City finished 15 games without conceding a goal, it was a match between  John Stones-Ruben Dias.
