The previous record, held by Arsenal’s Thierry Henry with 20 assists, stood for two decades before being matched by Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City. Now, Fernandes stands alone at the top after an extraordinary individual season.

The 31-year-old has proven to be among the elite midfielders in the league, making it essential for United to retain his services during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Bruno Fernandes’ Landmark Season

Primarily known for his goal-scoring prowess, Fernandes has evolved into an exceptional playmaker this season. Despite currently having only eight goals, marking a decline from his previous high of 28 goals in a single season, he has achieved an impressive milestone with 21 assists, placing him ahead of several Premier League legends.

Fernandes also received the Premier League Player of the Season award for his outstanding performance, though some may argue that a player from Arsenal, the eventual title winners, could have been a deserving candidate for the accolade.
