Top five Manchester United players with most assists in a Premier League season ft. Bruno Fernandes & David Beckham

Bruno Fernandes is now on the verge of setting a new record for the Red Devils.

Many Manchester United players are up there on the list as one of the best creative players in Premier League history, with the club producing many such world-class midfielder stars, who set new records and guided the club to success during their time at Old Trafford.

We have many such names, but when we talk about which United players have made the most assists in a single Premier League season, the list only contains five players. With this, we take a look at the top five United players with assists.

5. Antonio Valencia: 13 assists (2011-12 season)

Antonio Valencia began his career at Wigan Athletic as a potent right-winger, and after joining Manchester United, he has progressively developed into one of the top right-backs in the Premier League. Few people would have predicted this change.

Additionally, Antonio Valencia was at his most dangerous during that period of his career. In Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season leading the Red Devils, he even recorded 13 Premier League assists in the 2011-12 season, demonstrating his value to United in attack rather than defence.

4. David Beckham: 13 assists (1997-98 season)

With a few exceptions, very few Manchester United players have bagged as many assists in a single season. This includes the legendary Beckham, who contributed many assists during his stint at Old Trafford. When he produced 13 assists in the Premier League 1997–1998 season, he first made history.

However, because Arsenal defeated Manchester to win the championship, his amazing contribution for the season is not truly acknowledged.

3. Bruno Fernandes: 14 assists* (2025-26 season)

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has contributed 14 assists in the ongoing 2025-26 Premier League season. It’s not only a fantastic season for Bruno Fernandes wearing a Manchester United shirt, but he is also assembling a historic statistical campaign.

The Portuguese playmaker now only needs two more assists for the club this season to make history, while he is a few assists off the all-time Premier League record.

2. Nani: 14 assists (2010-11 season)

In June 2007, Nani moved from Sporting in Portugal to Manchester United, where he played 230 games and scored 41 goals.

During his illustrious tenure at Old Trafford, he won four Premier League titles, two League Cups, and the Champions League in his debut season. Nani’s most notable season with United was 2010–11, when he recorded a league-high 14 league assists, was awarded the club’s player of the year, and was included in the PFA’s Premier League team of the year.

1. David Beckham: 15 assists (1999-00 season)

Once again, with his name on this list is David Beckham. He set a new record of 15 Premier League assists as a Manchester United player in the 1999-00 season. He broke his previous record in the league with 13 assists. The winger enjoyed a fantastic 1999-00 season individually; this season also saw his club win the Premier League for the sixth time.
