Could Fernandes win Premier League player of the season?

Simon Stone has been answering some of your questions about Manchester United during the international break.

In the second part of Friday's Q&A, he focuses on captain Bruno Fernandes and potential future star JJ Gabriel.

Patrick asked: Do you think there is a chance of Bruno Fernandes winning Premier League player of the season? And would you choose him?

Simon answered: I will be voting for him, mainly because I have seen more of him than anyone else. If I am being honest, I would imagine Declan Rice or Gabriel would be the favourites if Arsenal win the league.

Attacking-wise, though, nobody has had the consistent impact across the season Fernandes has. It feels as though every time Manchester United score, he is a significant factor. He seems to be having more influence now he has been moved further up the pitch by Michael Carrick.

Brentford's Igor Thiago has to be worth a mention and Antoine Semenyo has been excellent for Bournemouth and Manchester City until the past couple of weeks. I don't think anyone has been better than Fernandes, though.

Khushal asked: When will JJ Gabriel make his debut in the Premier League?

Simon answered: Good question. He can't this season, that's for sure. He has been training at times with the first team and with some important under-21 matches coming up, which will require players to remain in Manchester, it will be interesting to see if he is chosen to go on the forthcoming four-day trip to Dublin.

However, as he was only 15 in October, he is not allowed to play in the Premier League this season. I suspect strongly he will be involved in pre-season matches and United's coaching staff will be able to decide whether he is physically strong enough to cope with adult football.

Even then, the Carabao Cup would seem a more likely tournament to make his debut in.
