Bruno Fernandes makes history.

On the night of March 15th, the Portuguese midfielder provided two assists in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the 30th round of the Premier League.

Bruno Fernandes plays a crucial role at Manchester United.

In the 53rd minute, Bruno Fernandes delivered a precise cross from the corner kick for Casemiro to head in the opening goal. Then, in the 71st minute, he tore through the Aston Villa defense with a through pass for Matheus Cunha to make it 2-1.

The midfielder, born in 1994, recorded his 15th and 16th assists in the Premier League this season, thus making history as the player with the most assists for MU in the Premier League era, surpassing David Beckham (15 assists). The former Sporting star could even have achieved a hat-trick of assists in this match if Benjamin Sesko had made a better decision in the final minutes.

In the 1992/93 season, Eric Cantona had 16 assists, but this statistic was achieved while playing for two clubs, Leeds and Manchester United. "King Eric" played for Leeds until November 1992 before joining the "Red Devils".

With his current form, Bruno also has a chance to break the all-time Premier League record. Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne are at the top with 20 assists in a single season.

Fernandes played a crucial role in Manchester United's Champions League qualification race. He directly contributed 26 points to the Old Trafford side, including the victory against direct rivals Aston Villa.

Currently, Michael Carrick's team holds onto third place with 54 points, six points ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool, with the possibility of five Premier League representatives qualifying for the Champions League next season.

In the next round, MU will face Bournemouth at home, where they have drawn in both of their last two away matches.
