Bruno Fernandes is on the brink of breaking the Premier League assists record. He has 19 assists this season, just one shy of equaling Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry’s record of 20 assists in a single season.
Fernandes assisted Benjamin Sesko’s goal in Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Brentford earlier this week. This performance further solidifies his position as the top playmaker in the league.
As of midday, he has created 114 chances this season, leading all players in the Premier League. His contributions have been vital for Manchester United, who currently sit with 61 points.
Fernandes has also matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s Premier League goal involvement record, achieving 140 goal involvements in 226 appearances. He has scored 70 goals and provided 70 assists throughout his career in the league.
The last player to achieve such a feat was Robin van Persie, who also scored or assisted in seven or more consecutive matches. Fernandes is now aiming for another assist to equal a record that has stood for 23 years.
He is on course to win the ‘Golden Player Maker’ award for the season. His consistent performances have made him a strong candidate for player of the year honors.
The next match will be crucial for Fernandes as he looks to break this long-standing record. Fans are eagerly anticipating his performance against Liverpool this Sunday.
