Bruno Fernandes delivered another decisive performance for Manchester United, reaching a major Premier League milestone during the club’s 2- 1 win over Brentford.
With the United captain’s assistance, Benjamin Sesko scored his goal in the game, bringing his overall league goal involvements to 140. While Fernandes achieved the target in fewer outings, that figure finds him draw level with ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
With 70 goals and 70 assists, his record draws attention for its balance and emphasizes his dual role as both a scorer and a maker.
With seven consecutive league games in which Fernandes has scored or assisted, a run not seen at the club since Robin van Persie attained a longer stretch over a decade ago, the midfielder became front and center in United’s drive this year.
His influence at Old Trafford has been even greater, landing him in a select group of players to preserve long scoring or assisting runs on home soil alongside club legends Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
With 19 already this year, Fernandes is also approaching a historic assist mark. He is presently just two shy of the Premier League single-season record shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
With a few matches left, the United captain is edging closer to another landmark moment in an already standout campaign.
