"On top of that, it's really worth emphasising that Fernandes has had to do this in what has been a far more challenging period for United than those other players played in. The former Sporting Lisbon man hasn't won nearly as many trophies as the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham managed, and he hasn't had the fortune of playing with as many other quality players. Bruno Fernandes cements his status as a Manchester United great Fernandes has been a joy to watch for United, proving to be their only real superstar of this difficult post-Sir Alex Ferguson era."
Bruno Fernandes scored in Manchester United's 2-0 home win over Tottenham, bringing his club tally to 104 goals. He has reached 200 goal involvements (goals plus assists) in 314 games for United. Only Wayne Rooney reached 200 involvements faster in the Premier League era, doing so in 295 games; Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes took longer. The milestone highlights Fernandes' central attacking role and consistent productivity from midfield. The 31-year-old has achieved this during a comparatively difficult United period, with fewer trophies and less elite supporting cast than predecessors. Keeping Fernandes is a top strategic priority for the club.
