Breathtaking pass quality. Indeed, Bruno Fernandes (31 years old) shone during this 2025-2026 Premier League financial year. This Sunday, against Brighton, the Portuguese made his 21st assist of the season before half-time, now holding the record for the greatest number of offerings during a single exercise and surpassing the 20 assists held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne (20).

With this performance, which goes down in history, Fernandes concludes his season in the most beautiful way. Thanks to extraordinary talent as well as a touch of magic, the captain of the Red Devils was the essential element of Michael Carrick’s collective to qualify for the Champions League. From now on, he is expected at the World Cup.
