The Portuguese superstar spearheaded a rejuvenated Manchester United throughout the 2025/26 campaign, totalling a staggering 30 goal contributions from 35 appearances.
Fernandes has stood out for United in almost every fixture and was a consistent difference-maker for the Red Devils, registering nine goals and 21 assists.
That playmaking tally saw him break the record for the most assists in a single Premier League season, surpassing the 20 set by both Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
His impressive form earned an average Flashscore player rating of 8.0 across the campaign, significantly higher than anyone else in the division, with Arsenal's Declan Rice following on a 7.6.
Fernandes captained Manchester United through a turbulent campaign that started under the guidance of Ruben Amorim before the manager was sacked and replaced by club legend Michael Carrick, at first on an interim basis.
Carrick oversaw a resurgence for United, who ended up comfortably finishing in third place after a run of just two defeats from 17 games during his tenure - which saw him appointed head coach on a permanent contract.
One of the key contributors to that rise was Fernandes, who took his game to a new level with 19 goal contributions in 2026 alone.
Perhaps even more impressively, of his 19 appearances in 2026, the midfielder earned Flashscore's Player of the Match award 12 times - meaning his rating was the highest of anyone in the match he featured in.
Manchester United now have the perfect platform to build upon for the 2026/27 campaign, and they will hope star man Fernandes will be central to whatever comes next at Old Trafford.
