Manchester United stars Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes included in the PFA Team of the Year
According to Sky Sports, Manchester United duo Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw have both been included in the PFA Team of the Year for the 2020/21 season.
Both players have been instrumental in United’s run to second place in the league. While Fernandes leads the club’s statistics in both assists and goals, Shaw finally looks like the player we hoped he would turn out to be when we signed him from Southampton.
The latter’s performances were top-notch and he enjoyed his best season in red. Shaw has also been rewarded with a place in the England squad for this summer’s Euros.
While few can question Shaw and Fernandes’ addition, United fans were left wanting more. A number of them have expressed their surprise at skipper Harry Maguire missing out.
While the Englishman has his faults, he has been one of the standout performers in the league last season. Hopefully, missing out this time around will spur him on ahead of the 201/22 campaign.
The final XI was predominantly dominated by Manchester City who had six players on the list. That comes as little surprise given the season they had.
We take a look at how some fans reacted to the news on Twitter.
