In a historic moment during a Premier League match on May 25, 2026, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes set a new league record for the most assists in a single season. His 21st assist came from a corner kick that found Patrick Dorgu, who headed the ball into the net.
The previous record of 20 assists was held by Thierry Henry (2002-03) and Kevin De Bruyne (2019-20). Fernandes's achievement surpasses this mark, solidifying his place in Premier League history.
Patrick Dorgu, a Danish defender who joined Manchester United in January 2026, scored his first goal for the club with this header. The goal contributed to Manchester United's victory in the match.
Fernandes, who has been a key player for Manchester United since joining in 2020, has consistently delivered high numbers of assists and goals. This record highlights his playmaking abilities and importance to the team's attacking play.
