Manchester United maestro Bruno Fernandes has officially etched his name into the history books by breaking the all-time record for the most assists in a single Premier League season.
The Portuguese star achieved this feat during the 2025-26 season finale against Brighton, providing a masterclass in a clinical 3-0 victory for Michael Carrick’s side.
Fernandes turned architect in the 33rd minute, setting up Patrick Dorgu for the opening goal. Not content with just creating, Bruno later capped off the performance by scoring the third goal himself.
This crucial assist brought his season total to 21, surpassing the long-standing record of 20 assists previously shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
A Historic Double: Record-Breaker and Player of the Season
This milestone comes at a perfect time, as Bruno Fernandes was also crowned the Premier League Player of the Season. His dominance on the pitch has been unparalleled this year, leading United back to the pinnacle of individual recognition.
Notably, Bruno is the first Manchester United player to claim this prestigious award since legendary defender Nemanja Vidic won it back in the 2010-11 season.
This achievement marks the end of a 15-year wait for the Red Devils and cements Fernandes’ status as a modern-day legend at Old Trafford.
