Bruno Fernandes is now one step away from history. The Manchester United captain has reached 19 assists in the Premier League this season, putting him within touching distance of one of the greatest creative records in the competition.
The latest milestone came in the recent outing where his influence once again shaped the attacking flow. While the result added to United’s strong push for a Champions League spot, the bigger story continues to be Fernandes’ consistency and output across the season.
Recognition has also come from within the dressing room. Benjamin Šeško openly praised his captain after the match. In comments shared by Fabrizio Romano, the striker highlighted the growing understanding between the two players.
Šeško said the duo have worked closely in training, and that connection is now delivering results on the pitch. He pointed to Fernandes’ quality and decision-making as key factors, adding that having such a teammate is a major advantage. “Bruno Fernandes and I work a lot in training and it is paying off. Knowing I have a teammate with this quality is a pleasure,” Šeško said after the 2-1 victory over Brentford.
Fernandes’ numbers underline that claim. Operating as the creative engine, he has consistently delivered chances, dictating tempo and unlocking defenses. His vision and passing range have placed him ahead of most players in the league this season.
With just one more assist needed to reach a landmark figure, attention will now shift to whether he can break the record before the campaign ends. The final matches offer a clear opportunity.
Beyond the numbers, Fernandes’ leadership has been central to United’s campaign. He continues to drive standards, both in performance and attitude, setting the tone for the squad.
