Manchester United's final game at Old Trafford this season saw the Red Devils take on Nottingham Forest. The match was a big one for the hosts, as Casemiro was playing his final game at home as a Man United player, while Bruno Fernandes was hunting down his 20th league assist of the season.
Only Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne have assisted 20 Premier League goals in one season, and Bruno was hoping to join the duo when United faced Forest.
The game at Old Trafford saw five goals, and the fourth of the game was a landmark moment for Bruno Fernandes. His quick cross into the box found Bryan Mbeumo, who shot first time and found the bottom corner.
The United players all celebrated with Bruno Fernandes, who had reached 20 assists in the Premier League this season. The historic moment has once again reinforced why Bruno Fernandes is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, as he hopes to win the PFA Player of the Year.
The Portuguese midfielder could have had more assists in the game, with United squandering multiple opportunities in the game. Although United missed good chances to score through Bruno Fernandes' play-making, he got his vital assist, and can add even more to his tally on Sunday.
The penultimate game of the Premier League season for both Manchester United and Nottingham Forest was a thrilling contest, and United won 3-2. The win cemented United's finish in third this season, with one match remaining against European-chasing Brighton.
On the final day of the season, Michael Carrick’s Manchester United travel to the South Coast to face Brighton at the AMEX Stadium, and Bruno Fernandes will be hoping to break the assist record for one season.
Do you think he will get his 21st Premier League assist of the season on Sunday against Brighton?
