In a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes achieved a significant milestone by equalling the Premier League record for most assists in a single season. The Portuguese midfielder now shares the record of 20 assists with legends Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry.
Fernandes reached the landmark after setting up Bryan Mbeumo for United’s third goal of the match. His precise pass allowed Mbeumo to slot home, sealing a crucial 3-2 win for the Red Devils against Nottingham Forest.
The victory was vital for Manchester United, ensuring they secured third place in the league standings. Luke Shaw had initially given United the lead, but Morato equalised for Forest with a simple header shortly after the break. However, Matheus Cunha quickly restored United’s advantage before Mbeumo’s goal extended the lead. Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back for Forest, but it wasn’t enough to deny United the win.
Nottingham Forest have already guaranteed their safety in the top flight, but the defeat will be a disappointment after a spirited performance.
