Bruno Fernandes Set New United Record

Bruno Fernandes has achieved a remarkable feat at Manchester United, breaking the club record for the most chances created in a calendar year. As of now, with five games remaining in 2023, the prolific no.8 has already crafted an impressive 120 opportunities for his teammates. This surpasses the prior record held by Ryan Giggs, who had created 100 chances over a twelve-month period.

The Portuguese international has showcased his versatility with a notable tally of 16 goals and 15 assists in the current year. Under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag, Manchester United is scheduled to face Bournemouth, Liverpool, West Ham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest before the turn of the year.

Fernandes remains a constant force on the field, having not missed a single Premier League game for the Reds since his transfer from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. His influential presence continues to play a pivotal role in Manchester United's performance.

In 2021, Bruno, according to Opta, created an impressive 95 chances, matching Nani and Giggs' combined totals from 2011 and 2007. What sets him apart, however, is his remarkable total of 120 chances as we approach the end of the current calendar year.

Notably, our no.8 leads in chances created among the Premier League's top players. His count of 120 surpasses the standings, outperforming players like Kieran Trippier, Pascal Groß, and Bukayo Saka, underscoring his exceptional abilities.

As United gears up to face the Cherries at Old Trafford today (15:00 GMT), Bruno aims to build on his impressive tally, further showcasing his playmaking prowess.
