Bruno Fernandes Eyes Premier League History After Matching Thierry Henry And Kevin De Bruyne Assist Record

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is standing on the edge of Premier League history — and he knows it.

The Portuguese magician has officially matched the all-time Premier League single-season assist record after producing his 20th assist of the campaign during Manchester United’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.

That incredible achievement now places Fernandes alongside two of the greatest creative players the league has ever seen — Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and Manchester City icon Kevin De Bruyne.

But Bruno is not satisfied yet.

With one final Premier League game remaining against Brighton, the Manchester United skipper is determined to break the record outright and become the most creative player in Premier League history over a single season.

Fernandes reached the historic milestone after setting up Bryan Mbeumo during Sunday’s dramatic victory at Old Trafford. The assist capped another sensational individual season for the midfielder, who has carried United creatively through difficult moments all year long.

Speaking after the match, Fernandes admitted the achievement meant a lot to him, especially considering the legendary names attached to the record.

The United captain described the moment as one of immense pride, praising both Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne as two of the Premier League’s greatest-ever players.

For Fernandes, being mentioned in the same conversation as those icons represents another major milestone in his Manchester United career.

What makes the achievement even more impressive is the consistency Fernandes has shown throughout the season. Despite Manchester United facing criticism and inconsistency at times, the Portuguese playmaker has remained the creative heartbeat of the team.

His vision, passing range, leadership, and ability to unlock defenses have once again proven why he remains one of the most influential midfielders in world football.

Now, all eyes turn to Brighton.

One more assist would move Fernandes onto 21 for the season and allow him to stand alone at the top of Premier League history. While the midfielder admitted he would love to break the record outright, he also revealed he is already proud of surpassing his previous personal best.

The recently crowned Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year has enjoyed arguably the finest season of his Manchester United career, combining leadership with elite attacking numbers.

Fans across the football world will now eagerly watch United’s final game of the campaign to see whether Fernandes can complete the perfect ending to an unforgettable season.

If he does, he will not just equal greatness — he will surpass it.
