<p>Fernandes' brilliant <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-arsenal-bruno-fernandes-alejandro-garnacho/blt1b9f887acf3881e3" target="_blank">free kick on the brink of half-time</a> put Manchester United 1-0 up against Arsenal at Old Trafford, and catapulted the Red Devils talisman onto 12 goals and 13 assists for the 2024-25 season across all competitions. This is the third campaign in a row in which Fernandes has reached 25+ direct goal involvements, a milestone only two other players have reached for a Premier League club in the same period: Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">25 - Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in 25+ goals in each of the last three seasons (12 goals, 13 assists this season); one of only three players to have done so for a Premier League club, along with Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fernandes' induction into this tiny group of prolific Premier League attackers underlines how much United have relied on the Portuguese in recent years. The 30-year-old has consistently performed to a high standard despite playing in some extremely mediocre Red Devils sides under managers like Ruben Amorim, Erik Ten Hag and Ralf Rangnick, and this attacking record proves it.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>This isn't the only record Fernandes has broken during his excellent spell at United; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-best-man-utd-player-post-ferguson-era/blte7b3ffb3fdbd740d#cs9d34f8cc351d2214" target="_blank">at the start of the 2020-21 season</a> he became the quickest player to reach five goals and five assists in Premier League history&nbsp;(after just nine games), and in 2022 he became the first player to post an assist in six consecutive Champions League games for an English club.</p><br>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Fernandes' fantastic attacking exploits are a rare silver lining for Amorim's United this season. While his team managed to secure a point against title-challengers Arsenal at Old Trafford, the result left them languishing in 14th place with just ten PL games left. It'll be an absolute miracle if United are able to mount a late surge for European qualification, leaving the door open for a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-exit-fears-transfer-window-man-utd-legend-warns-ruben-amorim-losing-captain-really-difficult/blt32d2d2a4858dc083" target="_blank">potential Fernandes exit in the summer</a>.</p>
