Bruno Fernandes equals feat from Man Utd's PL heyday 💫
Apr 27 2026 21:10 · By onefootball.com · 15 Reads
Bruno Fernandes is on the verge of the new Premier League's all-time assists record.
The Manchester United captain racked up his 19th of the campaign for Benjamin Šeško to double his side's lead against Brentford during Monday's encounter.
But Fernandes already has one goal involvements feat in the bag as he stands two away from eclipsing both Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne as joint-record holders.
The Portugal international remains a transformative presence at Old Trafford and now shares a bond with a similarly talismanic figure from the latter Sir Alex Ferguson era.
He has now scored or assisted in seven consecutive top flight appearances for the Red Devils since Robin van Persie in the 2012/13 season, when they won a 20th title.
Feyenoord's current head coach restored a balance of power to Theatre of Dreams after Ferguson's side were memorably pipped by Manchester City on the final day.

Will Fernandes similarly bring the glory days back for United?
