Bruno is about to achieve something unprecedented in 26 years at MU.

David Beckham, one of Manchester United’s greatest icons, is on the verge of having a 26-year-old record at Old Trafford broken.

The person who could accomplish this is none other than Bruno Fernandes, the current playmaker of Man United, as the Portuguese midfielder is experiencing an explosive season like never before.

If he maintains his current form, Bruno Fernandes can surpass Beckham’s 15-assist record that has stood for 26 years, thereby cementing his name in Man United history as one of the club’s best creators ever.

In the last 4 matches, Fernandes has provided 5 assists. In the thrilling 3-2 victory over Fulham, the Portuguese midfielder delivered two assists, including a crucial stoppage-time pass that helped Benjamin Sesko score the winning goal.

So far this season, Bruno Fernandes has recorded 12 assists in the Premier League. This matches his tally from the 2020/21 season. Notably, the season is still long, and the chance for Fernandes to break this milestone is very clear.

Ahead of the January transfer window, the 31-year-old midfielder revealed that Man United was willing to sell him to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. This news hurt Bruno Fernandes, as he has always seen Man United as a long-term home where he wants to dedicate the peak of his career.

However, everything started to change since Michael Carrick was appointed as interim coach. Under the leadership of the former legendary midfielder, Man United has revived strongly and remains unbeaten across all competitions. Notably, Bruno Fernandes is the soul of this fresh and inspiring style of play.

In Man United’s history, few players have managed to deliver such impressive assist numbers in a single Premier League season. David Beckham achieved this in the 1997/98 season with 13 assists, although Man United lost the title race to Arsenal that year. In the 1999/00 season, Beckham raised the bar with 15 assists, playing a key role in Man United’s Premier League triumph.

Besides Beckham, only Nani and Antonio Valencia have surpassed 12 assists in a Premier League season for Man United. Nani had 14 assists in 2010/11, while Valencia recorded 13 in 2011/12.
