Bruno Fernandes is closing in on a historic assist mark at Manchester United in the Premier League.
Fulham Win Shows Bruno Fernandes At His Creative Best
Manchester United made it three straight Premier League wins with a tense 3-2 home victory against Fulham. Once again, Fernandes ran the show in the final attacking third. His sharp delivery set up Casemiro for the opener and lifted the tempo early on in the game.
Late drama followed when his calm vision picked out Benjamin Sesko for a stoppage time winner. Those moments summed up his form this season. The Portuguese star now sits on 12 league assists, leading United’s chance creation. Every pass feels planned and every cross carries danger. With that, Old Trafford is feeding off his energy. He may brush off personal talk, but his influence is hard to miss.

Record Chase Adds Edge To Top Four Push Of Man Utd
The record in sight belongs to David Beckham, who set 15 Premier League assists in the 1999-2000 season. Fernandes needs just three more to match it. What this really means is momentum for Man Utd. The club has climbed to fourth, staying ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool in a tight race.
With English sides thriving in Europe, even fifth could open the Champions League door. Still, there is no room to relax at this point. The Red Devils must keep winning to build a safety gap and avoid one bad result undoing months of work.
Pressure will rise with every matchday, but Fernandes thrives when stakes are high. He is always demanding the ball and dictating play. He drags teammates forward with belief and courage.
