Bruno Fernandes continues to enhance his argument as the Premier League’s Player of the Season.
The Manchester United captain has helped inspire his team into the Premier League’s top three, with a fine run of individual invention and brilliance.
Fernandes has provided a league-leading 16 assists in the Premier League this season and is just four from equalling the Premier League’s single-season record.
He’s created a whopping 43 more chances than the next-highest player in the Premier League this season, having cultivated 101 goalscoring opportunities.

Incredibly, that means Fernandes has created the same number of chances as Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz (50) and Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez (51) combined.
Given those two players were both former British record signings and arrived in the Premier League for a combined sum of £222m, it’s an indication of the quality that Fernandes has produced this season.
Players to create 50+ chances in the Premier League this season:
- Bruno Fernandes – 101
- Dominik Szoboszlai, Anton Stach, Declan Rice – 58
- Bukayo Saka – 52
- Enzo Fernandez – 51
- Florian Wirtz – 50
