- Fernandes now has a 12.5% chance of winning the PFA POTY award with Bookmakers
- Kevin De Bruyne still 6/1 favourite to win the award for the third year in a row
- Bruno Fernandes teammate Paul Pogba into 16/1 after 4 assists in Leeds game
Bruno Fernandes second favourite for the PFA POTY award at 6/1
Man United beat Leeds last weekend in a 5-1 thrashing, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a hat-trick in the game.
Fernandes was tipped to be a contender for the PFA POTY award last year after a great first full season with United, but Kevin De Bruyne was voted for the award by his peers.
The Portuguese magnifico opened up at a 12/1 shot in the betting this year, but after the first game of the season, he's been backed into 7/1 for the award.
Man City's Kevin De Bruyne still 6/1 favourite for the award
Kevin De Bruyne has had impressive back-to-back seasons in the Premier League, winning the PFA Player of the Year award in successive seasons including last year's title winning season at Man City.
New City signing Jack Grealish is also in and around the favourites in the betting market, sitting as an 8/1 shot behind both De Bruyne and Fernandes.

| Bruno Fernandes | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Jack Grealish | 9/1 | 10% |
| Harry Kane | 10/1 | 9.1% |

| Romelu Lukaku | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Paul Pogba | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Jadon Sancho | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Mo Salah also started the season well, with two assists and a goal against Norwich on the opening weekend meaning he's been discussed in the market for the PFA POTY award.
Salah is a previous winner of the award, winning it in the 2017-18 season when he also won the Football Writers' Player of the Year award.
Paul Pogba is another player who has seen odds slashed
As high as 33/1 with some bookmakers before the Premier League season got underway last weekend, Paul Pogba has seen his odds come into 16/1 after an impressive performance against Leeds on the opening weekend.
Pogba had four assists in the opener against Leeds, which is one more than he managed in the Premier League for the whole of last season.
If the midfielder continues that form then we may see his odds tumble down even further over the coming weeks.
