Bruno Fernandes Surpasses Another De Bruyne Milestone at Old Trafford
Bruno Fernandes is poised for another historic performance as he continues his unstoppable run with Manchester United. Despite facing competition from other midfield maestros like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland, Fernandes has been the main man for United this season. His stats include 20 assists, 32 big chances created, and a record fifth Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.
With just one game left in the campaign, Fernandes could break two Premier League records next weekend when the Red Devils face Brighton.
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes is enjoying another historic season, and he could earn more accolades before the end of the campaign. The Portuguese maestro has already won the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award and remains in contention for the Premier League Player of the Year. He was voted by his teammates as the Players’ Player of the Year and picked up a record fifth Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award.
Earlier this year, Fernandes broke David Beckham’s long-standing record for the most assists (15) in a Premier League season for the club. Over the weekend, he registered his 20th assist of the season, equaling the record for the most assists in a Premier League season previously held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. The fact that Fernandes managed it despite playing half the season in a deeper role is what makes it all the more impressive.
His stats this season include 32 big chances created in 34 Premier League appearances, giving him the opportunity to potentially break two Premier League records next weekend when United face Brighton at the Amex.
