Bruno Fernandes: Benjamin Sesko backs the Manchester United captain to win Premier League Player of the Season award

Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has backed Bruno Fernandes to win the Premier League Player of the Year award while also lauding his captain's influence.

Fernandes is among the favourites to pick up the award after an outstanding campaign for United. The 31-year-old has 18 assists in the Premier League this season, just two behind the record for a single campaign in the top-flight since 1992.

Four of Sesko's nine Premier League goals during his debut campaign in England have been assisted by Fernandes. Sesko says he's grateful for the opportunity to be around his captain.
