Bruno Fernandes' first full season at Manchester United has certainly been one to remember.

The former Sporting Lisbon man has been one of the stars of European football in 2020/21, scoring goals at a rate that a prime Frank Lampard would be mighty proud of.

In Premier League action, Fernandes has netted 18 goals, a total bettered by only Harry Kane (22) and Mohamed Salah (22).

It really has been a special season by United's main man and he unsurprisingly leads the way among midfielders in the 2020/21 European Golden Boot standings.

However, the Portuguese magician is not top of the pile by much...

Fernandes in action

Thanks to the Premier League's coefficient, Fernandes just has the edge over Goncalves, the man who has replaced him at Sporting Lisbon.

Goncalves is currently the only midfielder in Europe to have scored 20 or more league goals, an achievement made all the more impressive by the fact that he netted his 23 goals in just 32 games.

Portugal's goalscoring midfield options for Euro 2020 are pretty darn good, especially when you factor in that Porto's Oliveira - who's 21st on the list - is also part of the country's 26-man squad for the tournament.
