Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United captain, made history by setting a new Premier League single-season assist record with 21 assists. This milestone was achieved on the final matchday against Brighton, where he assisted Patrick Dorgu with a perfectly placed corner kick. Fernandes had previously tied the record at 20 assists with a pass to Bryan Mbeumo, equaling the tallies of legends Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. Post-match, Fernandes expressed his pride in reaching this landmark, stating, 'I'm very grateful and I'm very happy to achieve it.' Despite the emphasis on his record, he maintained that it wouldn't change his playing style. Notably, only 10 of his assists came from open play, underscoring the growing importance of set pieces in his contributions. Fernandes has also been recognized for his outstanding performance this season, receiving accolades such as the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Year.
