Fernandes has seemingly been on the path of setting new records with the Red Devils this season.

Bruno Fernandes is enjoying a historic season with Manchester United. The consistency the midfielder is putting in every game has now put his name alongside the two greatest football players.

The midfielder’s recent outing against Aston Villa saw him create another new record. One of the milestones he achieved helped establish him as one of the best midfielders of modern football.

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, is having an incredible run of success in the Premier League. This season, the Portuguese international has become one of the most important playmakers in Europe and has solidified his position as the engine of United’s midfield.

With 16 assists already in the Premier League, he is only four assists behind Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry’s record for most assists in a season.

The midfielder for the Red Devils recently achieved a significant milestone with his team: 100 assists [& 100 goals]. He accomplished this remarkable achievement in just 318 games. It is faster than two contemporary football greats, Cristiano Ronaldo (325 games with Real Madrid) and Lionel Messi (319 games with FC Barcelona).

What Fernandes is doing this season certainly puts him among many of the greatest midfielders. He is enjoying his greatest season of all time despite the club’s ongoing hardship and inconsistency.

Manchester United’s triumph over Aston Villa last weekend has put them in third place in the Premier League. They are now in a good position to aim for a return to the UEFA Champions League next season, thanks to their captain’s unwavering dominance.
