Bruno Fernandes is on track to make history in the Premier League with an extraordinary season of assists, despite missing three games for Manchester United. At 31 years old, the Portuguese midfielder has already recorded an incredible 18 assists this season, a feat that puts him on course to break historical records in the English league.
Last Saturday, Fernandes shone again by assisting Matheus Cunha for the forward’s eighth goal of the season, in a play that left former teammate Alejandro Garnacho behind. This assist was his sixth consecutive one in Premier League matches, a total that could still increase, as Manchester United has five more games left in this championship.
The all-time record for assists in a single season of the Premier League is currently tied at 20, a mark set by two of the greatest talents in English football: Thierry Henry, who reached this number in 2002-03, the season before his legendary Invincibles campaign with Arsenal, and Kevin De Bruyne, who matched the feat in 2019-20 while playing for Manchester City.
Fernandes has not only joined the elite group of 21 players who have achieved 15 or more assists in a season, but he is just two decisive passes away from surpassing this mark and sitting alone in second place on the all-time list. The Portuguese midfielder could very well become the star of a new era of assists in the Premier League, solidifying his status as one of the best playmakers in the competition.
With the Premier League entering its decisive phases, anticipation is growing around Bruno Fernandes’ performance, which could not only help Manchester United secure a prominent position in the league table, but also etch his name into the history books of English football with a record that is unlikely to be broken anytime soon. Fans and pundits are watching closely, as each game could be the stage for another assist that will resonate in world football.
Stay tuned for the upcoming matches, as Bruno Fernandes is one step away from becoming a true legend of the Premier League, and his numbers are set to be the focus of European football in the coming weeks.
