Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has etched his name deeper into the club’s history books after surpassing a long-standing Premier League milestone previously held by former Red Devils icon David Beckham.
Two crucial strikes from the Portuguese playmaker and Benjamin Sesko ensured that Michael Carrick’s team claimed all three points in the encounter. The result strengthened United’s standing as they continue their domestic campaign.
According to data released by Opta Sports, Fernandes has now both scored and provided assists in 18 separate Premier League fixtures for Manchester United. That tally moves him beyond Beckham’s previous club record of 17 such matches in the competition.
Only two United legends remain ahead of him in this particular category — Wayne Rooney, who leads with 35, and Ryan Giggs, who accumulated 22 during his illustrious spell at the club.
With momentum firmly on his side, Fernandes will be aiming to extend his influential run when United take on Newcastle United next Wednesday in another key Premier League fixture.
