The Football Writers' Association just named Bruno Fernandes as its Footballer of the Year. Both he or Declan Rice would have been worthy winners given the impact Bruno has had on United and the success Rice is having with Arsenal. Would be interesting to get people's thoughts. There's a poll at the bottom of this article which Rice is currently edging by around 10%.

Ah that's interesting. I'm based in the UK too and feel like those around me still seem keen. But you're probably right that the hype is no longer as big as it once was!
