Bruno Fernandes is the gift that keeps on giving to Manchester United.
Ever since Bruno Fernandes signed for Manchester United in 2020, the Portugal international has been a class apart.
Fernandes has created more chances in the Premier League than any player since his arrival, and often he has not received the credit that his talents deserve.
Manchester United’s captain has often been let down by poor finishing from his teammates, preventing him from hitting some seriously high numbers.

Bruno Fernandes assist streak
Bruno Fernandes is closing in on 100 assists in all competitions for Manchester United to match his 100 goals scored.
61 of these assists have come in the Premier League, and finally Fernandes has hit double-figures in back-to-back seasons.
With 10 assists in the league last season, Fernandes now has 10 for this season too, after providing the pass for Patrick Dorgu’s wondergoal.
The last Manchester United player to provide 10+ assists in back-to-back seasons was record goalscorer Wayne Rooney.
Rooney managed the feat in 2012/13 and 2013/14, the latter being especially impressive considering the team’s struggles that season.
Fernandes of course can boast that he managed 10 assists in the club’s worst ever Premier League campaign in 2024/25.
Should Manchester United keep Bruno Fernandes this summer, or is the time right to sell for big money?
