Bruno Fernandes’ incredible season continues to hit new heights | OneFootball

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes’ incredible statistics continue to pile up after another stunning performance versus Leicester City.

The Portugal international has been simply electric since the turn of the year and has really stepped up in the absence of Amad.

Fernandes bagged a hat-trick against Real Sociedad in the Europa League and continued his fine form with a goal and a couple of assists against Leicester.

A beautiful ball over the top allowed Rasmus Hojlund to break his long drought without a goal and a sumptuous strike from distance capped another fine performance.

The 30 year old broke a record on Thursday, becoming the player to have the most goals and assists in the Europa League’s history at 41.

His incredible form has resulted in even more impressive statistics, according to Statman Dave.

In 2025, he has played 1,530 minutes of action, scoring 10 goals and providing five assists.

That means he is averaging a goal or an assist every 102 minutes.

This is even more impressive when you consider he has mainly been playing as a central midfielder for most of Ruben Amorim’s time as manager.

What’s more, he is the first Man United player to score 50 plus goals and 50 plus assists in the Premier League since Wayne Rooney.

He now has 16 goals and 15 assists in 44 games and with two months of the season left to play, he could well reach 20 in both categories.

This is already his most productive season since the 2020/2021 season when he fired in 28 goals and 17 assists overall.

Unbelievably, Fernandes has still had to deal with criticism from numerous pundits despite his impressive statistics but he has responded by claiming that he does things his own way.

His manager Ruben Amorim has also expressed his delight with his compatriot and claimed he is not going to be rested as he is too important to the team for the upcoming weeks of the season.
