Nigerian Fans Back Bruno Fernandes Over Alex Iwobi for EPL March Award
A heated debate erupted after Nigerian supporters chose Bruno Fernandes instead of Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi in the Premier League’s Player of the Month poll for March 2026. Fans argued that Fernandes’ four matches, two goals and four assists outshone Iwobi’s single strike for Fulham. The Super Eagles’ social channels urged followers to back their countryman, but many Manchester United fans in Nigeria remained loyal to Fernandes. Comments ranged from playful club pride to bold claims of loving United more than the national team. The discussion underscores how club allegiance can outweigh national loyalty in fan voting. Bruno Fernandes ultimately led the poll, sparking further chatter on social media about the power of club identity.
