From the source

Bruno Fernandes finished 27th in the 2026 Ballon d'Or, months after a record-breaking season that swept England's individual awards. The ranking arrived a day after Michael Carrick kept United's captain on the bench for the whole of a home defeat by Bournemouth.

Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d’Or. He is the first Englishman to win it in 25 years. The ceremony was held in London rather than Paris.

United’s captain finished one place below Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano. He was one place above Al Qadsiah’s Julián Quiñones. This was his second nomination. On his first, in 2021, he finished joint 21st.
