"He's done it for a long period of time now. In the big moments and making the difference and whether he's scoring or creating he's normally around it. There's not a lot else to say that I've not sat here and said before about Bruno, but I thought he was really good."
"Fernandes' two assists moved the Portuguese midfielder onto 16 in the Premier league this season and past David Beckham's United record of 15 set 26 years ago. He now needs four to match the 20 achieved by Thierry Henry in 2002-03 and Kevin De Bruyne in 2019-20 and equal the Premier League benchmark."
"Fernandes could have left for Al-Hilal last summer, but decided to turn down a mega money move to Saudi Arabia and stay in Manchester. By his own admission in an interview with Portuguese media in December, his future still remains up in the air."
Bruno Fernandes delivered two assists in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, breaking David Beckham's club record of 15 Premier League assists set 26 years ago. At 31 years old, Fernandes remains United's primary playmaker and difference-maker in crucial moments. His current tally of 16 assists puts him four behind the Premier League benchmark of 20, achievable with eight games remaining. Fernandes rejected a lucrative Saudi Arabia offer last summer to remain at Manchester United, though his future remains uncertain. His contract includes a £57 million release clause, making his retention a priority for the club.
