PFA Players’ Player of the Year: Bruno Fernandes and Mohamed Salah among nominees

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah are among the six nominees for the Professional Footballers’ Association’s Players’ Player of the Year award.

Premier League champions Liverpool have two players among the nominees, with Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister joining Egypt’s Salah, who has already won the Premier League Player of the Season award, on the list.

Salah, who scored 29 times and provided 18 assists last season, is aiming to win the award for a record-breaking third time.

Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak is nominated after helping the Magpies qualify for the Champions League with 27 goals in 42 appearances last term.

United finished a disastrous 15th in the Premier League, but Fernandes scored eight goals and laid on 10 assists for the Red Devils last season.

Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice complete the list of nominees.

The winner of the award will be announced on 19 August at a ceremony in Manchester.
