Top 3 Attacking Midfielders in the World with Their Current Performances

The pressure that comes with being a big-money Manchester United signing is unrivalled and so many before Bruno Fernandes succumbed under the spotlight.
The Portuguese creator, though, set the world alight during his first 18 months at the club. After signing in January 2020, Fernandes notched 15 Premier League goal contributions in 14 appearances during the second half of the season before scoring 18 times in the league the following campaign.
Fernandes has definitely suffered during some of United's more depressing moments of the past few years, but his output since joining has been remarkable.
His ball-striking, vision and risk-taking are admirable traits, but there's no doubt he can be woefully inefficient and infuriating to watch at times. But when you're scoring heaps of goals, who cares?
2. Bernardo Silva

It hard to pin down a particular positional rankings to put Bernardo Silva in because he could've went into most of them.
And that's ultimately what makes him such a valuable asset to Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.
The Portugal international is brilliantly tidy player who can also provide a bit of cutting edge when needed.
1. Kevin De Bruyne

Few players combine strength, power, creativity and technical ability like Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian playmaker is incredibly difficult to stop when all of City's parts are moving with the precise synchronicity of a swan dance at the opera, showing devastating form during the second half of the 2022/23 season as they blitzed their way to the treble.
Give him too much space and De Bruyne will find the spare teammate at the back post. Close him down and he'll work space for one of his unstoppable drives.
Defenders are clueless and that only adds to the former Chelsea midfielder's aura.
