The former England striker acknowledged that while team success often dictates where the awards go, Fernandes’ individual brilliance cannot be ignored. Lineker added: "I suppose the only other one, if he came back and started banging in all the goals and won City the title, it might be Erling Haaland again. But at the moment, for me, to do what he’s done this season… and he was still the standout player even when they were going through a rotten spell when they were really struggling under Ruben Amorim. I think he’s got such a great footballing brain and technique. What a player, what a player!"
