Bruno Fernandes breaks an incredibly unbelievable record at Manchester United

Two assists in the victory over Aston Villa helped Bruno Fernandes surpass David Beckham to become the Manchester United player with the most assists in a single Premier League season.

Old Trafford stadium last night not only celebrated a joyous victory a crucial 3-1 win against Aston Villa but also witnessed a moment that entered the glorious history of the club.

Midfielder Bruno Fernandes, with his genius tactical vision, officially took over the position of global icon David Beckham to become the Manchester United player with the most assists in a single Premier League season.

Before this match took place, the old record was held by Beckham with 15 assists from the legendary 1999/2000 season, and this number had stood unchallenged for 26 years.

The historic turning point came in the second half of the match when Bruno Fernandes executed two precise assists for Casemiro and Matheus Cunha to score. These brilliant moments helped the Portuguese star reach the milestone of 16 assists in the 2025/26 Premier League season, officially surpassing the figure of 15 set by his predecessor 26 years ago.

More notably, Bruno achieved this feat while the season still has eight matches ahead, opening the opportunity for him to further break his own record.

The explosion of the captain wearing the number 8 shirt recently seems closely linked to the arrival of Michael Carrick on the coaching bench. Since Carrick took over the interim role after Ruben Amorim departed, Bruno Fernandes has displayed devastating form with two goals and eight assists in just the last eight matches in the national championship.

This means that more than half of his assists for the entire season have occurred under the guidance of the English strategist, demonstrating the strong revival of the Red Devils in the final stages.

Currently, Bruno Fernandes has contributed to a total of 23 goals for Manchester United in this Premier League season. He is also getting very close to legends like Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs in the list of players with the most matches featuring both goals and assists for the club.

This victory not only helped Bruno enter the hall of legends but also solidified the Red Devils' third-place position on the standings, widening the gap with their opponent Aston Villa to 3 points and continuing to pressure Manchester City in the race for the second spot on the leaderboard.
