Manchester [UK], May 18 (ANI): Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes levelled with icons like Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne for the most assists during a Premier League season.
During his side's final Premier League game at home against Nottingham Forest, Bruno got to the milestone after setting up Bryan Mbeumo's 75th-minute strike, which brought the scoreline to 3-1 in United's favour, who won by 3-2 to stay at third spot in the points tally, having already secured their UEFA Champions League slot.
With this assist, he has matched Henry's 20 assists for Arsenal back in the 2002-03 season and Kevin's 20 assists for Manchester City in 2019/20.
Speaking to Sky Sports as quoted by the Premier League website, Bruno said, 'Everyone knew that it was important that I could get another assist at least. They (my teammates) have been trying everything that they can to score from my passes.'
'There were probably moments today that I should have passed instead of shot, but I am very happy for this assist,' he added.
The United veteran came close to breaching past Henry and Bruyne when he created a chance for Diogo Dalot in the stoppage time, but it hit the goal post. However, but with a match against Brighton and Hove Albion away from home still remaining, he has a chance to break the record on Sunday. (ANI)
