Bruno Fernandes has etched his name into the Premier League record books by setting a new single-season assists record. The Manchester United midfielder provided his 21st assist of the campaign during the final day clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
Record-Breaking Moment
Heading into the match, Fernandes was tied on 20 assists with former Premier League stars Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry. However, the Portuguese international moved clear at the top of the all-time list by setting up Patrick Dorgu for United's opening goal.
The assist came in the first half, showcasing Fernandes' exceptional vision and passing ability. This achievement caps a remarkable season for the 31-year-old, who has been a pivotal figure for the Red Devils throughout the campaign.
A Season to Remember
Fernandes' creativity has been a constant threat to opposing defences, and his record-breaking tally reflects his consistency and influence in the final third. The previous record of 20 assists had stood since the 2019-20 season, shared by De Bruyne and Henry from the 2002-03 campaign.
With this milestone, Fernandes has cemented his legacy as one of the Premier League's finest playmakers. United fans will hope he can continue this form into next season as the club aims for silverware.
