Bruno Fernandes has created another piece of Manchester United history by breaking Juan Mata’s Europa League assist record.
The Portuguese midfielder achieved the feat during United’s 2-2 draw with Lyon on Thursday night, further underlining his importance to the club in European competition.
Softfootball reports that Fernandes has now moved ahead of Mata in the competition’s assist standings, adding another achievement to his growing list since joining Manchester United.
Fernandes has consistently played a central role in United’s attacking play, providing chances for teammates while also contributing goals of his own.
His latest record came during a dramatic encounter in France, where Manchester United were unable to secure victory despite taking part in a closely contested match.
The midfielder will now look to add to his European contribution as United continue their campaign and chase a place in the next stage of the competition.
