Bruno Fernandes etched his name into Premier League history after breaking the record for the most assists in a single season during Manchester United’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the 2025-26 campaign.

The Portuguese midfielder registered his 21st assist of the season when his perfectly delivered corner was headed home by Patrick Dorgu in the first half at the Amex Stadium. The milestone pushed Fernandes past the previous record of 20 assists jointly held by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and former Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.

Fernandes later capped off his memorable evening by scoring himself as Manchester United comfortably sealed victory to conclude the season on a high note. The midfielder’s outstanding campaign has already earned him several individual honours, including the Premier League Player of the Season and Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year awards.

According to Premier League statistics, Fernandes’ achievement is considered even more remarkable because his first assist of the season did not arrive until October. Despite that slow start, the United captain produced an extraordinary creative run throughout the campaign, consistently delivering decisive performances for his side.

Manchester United’s strong finish under newly appointed permanent manager Michael Carrick has also secured the club’s return to the UEFA Champions League after a difficult transitional period. Analysts believe Fernandes’ leadership and creativity played a crucial role in the team’s late-season resurgence.

Fans and football pundits across social media praised Fernandes for surpassing a long-standing Premier League benchmark previously achieved by two of the league’s greatest playmakers. His record-breaking season is now expected to be remembered among the finest individual creative campaigns in English football history.
