Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, has backed Bruno Fernandes to win the Euro 2024 Golden Boot ahead of his Portugal international teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
The European championship will starts on June 14 in Germany.
Portugal will open their campaign against the Czech Republic on June 18.
Ronaldo scored 50 goals in 45 games across competitions for Al-Nassr last season.
Fernandes, meanwhile, scored 15 goals and provided 13 assists in 48 games across competitions for Manchester United.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously now playing at a slightly different level to before, out in Saudi Arabia, but he’s an amazing athlete, and he’s still as fit as a fiddle because he looks after himself so well,” Redknapp told BetVictor (via GOAL).
“I can see him scoring goals at the tournament, and I can see him taking Portugal a long way this year.
“I also think Bruno Fernandes could be fantastic value for the Golden Boot award – he will score goals. He won’t take penalties because I suppose Ronaldo will grab the ball, but I’d definitely have an interest in him at a big price for the Golden Boot.”
