Bruno Fernandes Top List For Most Minutes Played
Bruno Fernandes, a midfielder for Manchester United, played more games last season than any other elite player.
The Portuguese international played 6,666 minutes between September 15, 2022, and September 15, 2023, according to FIFPRO, the players’ union. The organisation gathered information from 1,800 players to demonstrate the physical and mental demands placed on elite football players over the course of a season. Fernandes has logged 29,486 minutes of playtime since the 2018 World Cup, according to the analysis. Gustavo Gomas of Palmeiras and Paraguay is second on the list, ahead of Mohamed El Shenaway of Al Ahly and Egypt.

Having been given the captain’s armband in the summer, Fernandes has struggled for form this season. For the most part, he has appeared frustrated, although this may be explained by the results we’ve seen this season for the Red Devils. Fernandes has two goals and two assists in nine games so far in the new campaign.
On Saturday, October 7, the Portuguese midfielder will play once again when Manchester United hosts Brentford at Old Trafford.
