Bruno Fernandes wants to add more at Manchester United after surpassing David Beckham’s 26-year assist record.
Fernandes broke Beckham’s previous club record of 15 assists in a season on Sunday afternoon when he recorded two against Aston Villa.
The midfielder set up Matheus Cunha to retake the lead in the 71st minute after delivering a ball into the box from a corner for Casemiro’s headed goal.
This season, Fernandes has 16 assists in the Premier League. He is currently four assists away from equaling the top-flight assist record with Kevin de Bruyne and Thierry Henry.

Speaking to MUTV, Fernandes said of beating Beckham’s assist tally in 1999/2000. “Obviously, it’s very nice. It’s a very good achievement. We’re talking about one of the best players, certainly [the best] strikers of anyone in the box. So I’m very pleased to do that.
“It’s not going to change anything for what I want, but being there with a name who, obviously, was one of the players everyone looks up to, in the way of crossing and the way of passing.
