A Record‑Breaking Season
Manchester United’s midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes has rewritten the Premier League record books by delivering 21 assists in a single campaign, eclipsing the long‑standing benchmark of 20.
The previous record was shared by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and Manchester City’s creative engine Kevin De Bruyne, both of whom set the standard during earlier eras of English football.
Fernandes cemented the milestone during United’s 2‑0 victory over Brighton, where his precise pass released full‑back Patrick Dorgu for the opening goal, illustrating the Portuguese’s knack for timely contributions.
Two weeks ago the same player was crowned England’s Footballer of the Year by the nation’s soccer writers, a testament to his consistent excellence and influence on the pitch.
His blend of vision, work rate and clutch performances not only fuels United’s title ambitions but also raises the bar for midfielders worldwide, suggesting that the assist record may stand for years to come.
