Bruno surpasses Ronaldo on a day when MU shines brilliantly

Bruno Fernandes hits the 200 goal contribution mark for MU, beating Ronaldo in the pace to reach this achievement, in a convincing display by the Red Devils.

Bruno Fernandes continues to assert his leadership by scoring the decisive goal in Manchester United’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham in the 25th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. This goal not only secured three vital points at Old Trafford, but also marked the Portuguese midfielder’s 200th combined goal involvement (goals and assists) for the Red Devils in the Premier League era.

With 104 goals and 96 assists from 314 Premier League appearances, Bruno becomes the second fastest player in MU history to reach 200 goal contributions in this competition. This achievement places him ahead of legends like Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, and David Beckham in terms of speed to this milestone, only trailing Wayne Rooney in the club’s Premier League history.

In a context where MU needs points to maintain a top-4 position, Bruno’s influence is even more evident. He not only scored directly but also orchestrated the team’s play, controlling the tempo and linking the attacking units. The captain’s timely presence helped MU sustain dominance after the opponent was reduced to ten men.

The match at Old Trafford saw MU dominate possession for most of the game. The turning point came early when Tottenham’s center-back Cristian Romero was shown a straight red card in the 29th minute. Playing with a numerical advantage, the Red Devils increased pressure and opened the scoring through Bryan Mbeumo, before Bruno sealed the convincing win in the final minutes.

The three points against Tottenham help MU maintain their top-4 spot and keep close to the leaders. More importantly, Bruno’s performance symbolizes the team’s stability and resilience under coach Carrick. With the captain in excellent form, MU has more reason to believe in their long-term title challenge.
