Bruno Fernandes has admitted that he has spotted one detail that shows why no other Manchester United player can rival one of his biggest and best qualities.
The 31-year-old Manchester United star remained at Old Trafford for the 2025-26 Premier League season, despite being subject to transfer interest in the summer.
Bruno Fernandes has been a key player for Ruben Amorim and the Portugal midfielder found himself on the transfer radar of Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
But Al Hilal’s approach for Fernandes was rejected after the United captain openly expressed his desire to stay at the Premier League club for the current season.
Fernandes has retained an integral role in the plans of United manager Ruben Amorim, but the Portugal international is playing in a deeper role this season.
Bruno Fernandes explains how he has seen one of his best qualities outshine his Man Utd teammates
Bruno Fernandes sat down with the Premier League’s official media and was shown his overall rating in the upcoming EA Sports FC 26 and some of his key stats.
When discussing the physical rating that he received from EA Vancouver and EA Romania, Fernandes was told that the attribute also included a player’s stamina.
Fernandes admitted that he has already noticed that his stamina is “very high” in EA Sports FC 25, which was released on both console and PC back in 2024.
The Manchester United skipper said that his stamina bar is “always higher” than the other Red Devils players towards the dying stages of a match on EA FC 25.
“I know that in the game [EA FC 25] my stamina is very high,” Fernandes said.
“I know that because I play the game sometimes. We have it now in the dressing room when we are playing [and] my bar is always higher than the other ones when we’re getting into the end of the game, so I guess that is part of the physicality, so…”
Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes makes his feelings clear on his stamina after his key physical stat in EA Sports FC 26 is revealed
Fernandes had an overall rating of 87 on EA Sports FC 25 and the former Sporting CP midfielder had a base physical score of 75, which included 95 for his stamina.
The United ace maintained the same overall score of 87 for his EA Sports FC 26 rating and his overall physical stat remained unchanged in the forthcoming title.
“Yeah, I’m happy with that,” Fernandes added.
“I’m not the strongest, but I can get into duels, I can win my duels, on the air, on the floor, wherever.
“I try to fight for all of them, knowing that I’m not the biggest, I’m not the strongest, but I’m brave enough to put my foot in there and my head in there, so if the stamina is there, it’s one of my best attributes probably, one of the biggest ones I have and hopefully I can keep it like that.”
EA Sports FC 26, which is the latest entry in the long-running Electronic Arts franchise, will launch on 26th September for both home consoles and PC.
