Bruno Fernandes achieved a remarkable feat in Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, recording his 99th and 100th assists for the club. The Portuguese international also set a new record for a United player in the Premier League, with a total of 16 assists in a single season, surpassing the previous mark of 15 held by David Beckham. "I am more proud and satisfied to have done it by serving my teammates. Bringing joy to others is also very good. When you play in my position, I am very happy to be able to help them score and to see them happy in that moment," he stated to Sky Sports. Despite the record, Bruno Fernandes made it clear that his ambition is different: "It's a great achievement for me, but the main achievement would be to be in first place at the end of the season." Regarding the team's performance, the captain highlighted the importance of the victory against a direct rival, now sitting in third place. "It was very important because it was against a direct opponent; we had the same points, and gaining this advantage over them is always good. We knew we needed to win the game after the last result. Today, we did our job," he analyzed, adding: "I still think we can do much better, but the work is done."
