Bruno Fernandes has officially broken the Premier League single‑season assist record, registering his 21st assist of the 2025/26 campaign to surpass the previous joint mark held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.
The milestone came during Manchester United’s match on Sunday, where Fernandes — operating as captain and chief playmaker — produced the decisive pass that completed his record‑breaking contribution.
The feat cements the 31‑year‑old’s status as one of the division’s most potent creators, highlighting his vision, chance creation and composure in the final third.
Fernandes’ achievement stands out amid an up‑and‑down season for United.
