Piers Morgan is very angry. The Arsenal supporter has blasted the decision to give Bruno Fernandes the Premier League Player of the Year award.
He believes Declan Rice should have won it. Rice played a big role in helping Arsenal win their first league title in 22 years.
Morgan wrote on social media: “WHAT IS GOING ON? How can a serial loser this season beat a man who has driven Arsenal to our first League title in 22 years? This is complete madness.”
Bruno Fernandes had a great season for Manchester United. He scored 8 league goals and recorded 20 assists — equaling the Premier League record set by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
But United did not win the league. Arsenal did.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick defended Fernandes. He praised his professionalism and hard work.
“He gets a lot of headlines for the assists record and performances this season, but I think it’s mostly off the pitch that I appreciate. He’s a special footballer.”
The internet is divided. One person wrote: “Piers has a point. Rice won the league. Fernandes won nothing.”
Another said: “Individual awards are about individual performance, not team trophies.”
Someone else added: “20 assists is insane. Fernandes deserves it.”
What do you think should Rice have won instead?
