Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes is controversial as he is included in the PFA Player of the Year nomination selected by the players.

PFA unveiled six candidates for the 2024-2025 season 'Player of the Year' on the 20th (Korea time). Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Alexis McAllister, who overthrew Manchester City's stronghold in the English Premier League (EPL), were proudly named.

Salah, who scored 29 goals and 18 assists in the EPL and dominated the top scorer and assistants, is aiming for the third award, the most ever. He was named the 2017-2018 season and the 2021-2022 season 'Player of the Year'. He is likely to win the award again this season.




McAllister, who has five goals and five assists in 35 EPL matches, is aiming for his first win. He led Liverpool to victory as the midfield commander.

Newcastle United killer Alexander Isak scored 27 goals in 42 games in all tournaments last season. He scored 23 goals in the EPL, ranking second in scoring after Salah.

Newcastle took fifth place with Isaac on the lead and succeeded in advancing to the European Champions League (UCL) next start. The EPL usually qualifies for the UCL from 1st to 4th place. In the case of last season, it ranked first in the European league standings, and the benefit was also given to fifth place.

Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice are also among the candidates. Palmer scored 15 goals and eight assists in the EPL. It fell compared to 22 goals and 11 assists in the 2023-2024 season. However, he won a place as Chelsea's face. Rice scored four goals and seven assists in the EPL.

Fernandez sewed the last one. He did his bit in the EPL with eight goals and 10 assists. But Manchester United were out of the ordinary.

United have had a humiliating season. Manchester United ended the season in 15th place with only 42 points (11 wins, 9 draws and 18 losses) in the EPL. It is the lowest ranking in the EPL, which was launched in 1992. He sought a turnaround in the Europa League final, but was blocked by Tottenham's wall and had to settle for second place.




Son Heung-min, who scored seven goals and nine assists in the EPL, led the team to the top of the Europa League and presented Tottenham with the championship for the first time in 17 years. However, he once again failed to reach the PFA Player of the Year award. Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to win the EPL's top scorer in 2022, but he was also excluded from the PFA Player of the Year award, which was highly criticized.

The winners of the 'Player of the Year' will be announced at the awards ceremony in Manchester on August 19.
