Bruno Fernandes reached 20 assists, equaling a Premier League record, with a corner-assisted goal by Patrick Dorgu. His performance is strongly linked to playing with Kobbie Mainoo, raising hopes for a record-breaking season next term. Sky also updates its TV bundle.
Bruno Fernandes reached a milestone by providing his 20th assist of the Premier League season, tying the record previously held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
The assist came from a corner in the 33rd minute, headed in by Patrick Dorgu, giving Manchester United the lead. The goal sparked jubilant celebrations from his teammates, who mobbed the captain, recognizing the significance of the achievement. At 31, Fernandes still has room for improvement next season, particularly if he continues his strong partnership with young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.
Fernandes' assist output was notably higher when Mainoo was on the pitch, recording 17 of his 20 assists in the presence of the teenager. In the 16 games Mainoo started, Fernandes managed 12 assists, underscoring the synergy between them. Without Mainoo, his assists dropped to only four, highlighting how much his performance depends on playing alongside the deeper-lying midfielder.
Mainoo's playing time was limited under former manager Ruben Amorim, who misutilized him as a No. 10, but he thrived under interim manager Michael Carrick from January onward. For Fernandes to have a realistic chance of breaking his own assist record next season, Mainoo must feature regularly. Although approximately half of Fernandes' assists this season originated from corners, the projection suggests that if both players start all 38 matches together, the Portugal international could exceed 21 assists.
Meanwhile, Sky has announced an upgrade to its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle, now including HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu, alongside 135 channels and comprehensive coverage of the Premier League and EFL
