Fernandes equals Premier League record with 20th assist of the season

Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League record for most assists in a single season on 17 May 2026, recording his 20th assist when he set up Bryan Mbeumo's 76th-minute goal as Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 3-2. The feat matches records previously set by Thierry Henry in 2002/03 and Kevin De Bruyne in 2019/20. Fernandes has a chance to break the record outright in United's final match of the season away at Brighton & Hove Albion next Sunday, and his assists have already earned Manchester United a record 21 Premier League points in a single season by one player.
