Bruno Fernandes and 'Bunny' Shaw win soccer writers' awards in England

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was voted as footballer of the year in England by soccer writers, while Manchester City striker Khadija “Bunny” Shaw won the women's award for a second time on Friday. Fernandes captured the accolade handed out by the Football Writers’ Association near the end of a season when he has made 19 assists for United in the Premier League — one off the record — and helped the team get back in the Champions League.

In a season filled with standout performances, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been named the Football Writers' Association Men's Footballer of the Year, while Manchester City striker Khadija "Bunny" Shaw claimed the women's award for the second time.

Fernandes, the Portuguese midfield maestro, earned the honor after a campaign that saw him rack up 19 Premier League assists—just one shy of the all-time record—and play a pivotal role in guiding United back to the Champions League. He secured 45% of the votes from the FWA's membership of over 900, finishing ahead of Arsenal's Declan Rice and Manchester City's Erling Haaland. This marks the first time a Manchester United player has won the award since Wayne Rooney in 2010, adding to the legacy of the oldest individual soccer accolade in the world, dating back to 1947.

On the women's side, Bunny Shaw was unstoppable, leading Manchester City to their first Women's Super League title in a decade with a league-best 19 goals in 21 matches. She beat out Arsenal's Alessia Russo and Chelsea's Lauren James to take home the trophy, cementing her status as one of the most dominant forwards in the game.

For fans looking to celebrate these incredible athletes, now is the perfect time to gear up in their club's colors and channel that same winning spirit on the pitch.
