Portugal is one of the favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, and they still have their legendary player Cristiano Ronaldo in the squad.
Apart from Ronaldo, Portugal has other important players they will need to count on, and one of them is a midfielder, Bruno Fernandes.
The Manchester United player is arguably the most important in the Portuguese squad after his incredible season in the Premier League, setting the assist record with 21 assists in one season.
