Bruno Fernandes Ties Premier League Assist Record with 20th of Season for Man United
- On Sunday, Bruno Fernandes equaled the Premier League single-season assist record with his 20th assist as Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Old Trafford.
- The victory marked another step forward under Michael Carrick, who is widely expected to be hired as permanent manager after securing 11 wins in 16 games during his four-month spell in charge.
- Referee Michael Salisbury allowed Matheus Cunha's 55th-minute goal to stand after VAR review despite Bryan Mbeumo's apparent handball in the build-up; commentator Gary Neville branded it an 'absolute shocker' on Sky Sports.
- United maintained the lead after Mbeumo scored in the 76th minute, securing third place and confirming the club's return to the Champions League next season despite a late Forest rally.
- Fernandes has one final match against Brighton next weekend to break the outright assist record at 21, having matched the mark held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
