Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, created history on Sunday following his team’s 3-2 Premier League victory over Liverpool.
The Red Devils defeated Arne Slot’s team at Old Trafford thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Kobbie Mainoo.
But after the Liverpool match, Fernandes has now created 120 opportunities in the Premier League this season, the most by a Manchester United player in a season since 2003–04, according to OptaJoe.
Fernandes set the previous record in 2022–2023 with 119 chances.
In 14 different Premier League games in 2025–2026, the Portugal midfielder created five or more chances, the most since 2003–04.
Only former Arsenal player Mesut Özil has done so more often in a season (15 times in 2015–16).
