For one Premier League season, no midfielder on earth created more than Bruno Fernandes<\/strong>. The Bruno Fernandes stats<\/strong> read like a creator’s manifesto: more than 200 goal involvements for Manchester United, a record-breaking 21-assist Premier League season, and a central role for Portugal at the World Cup 2026. Here are the numbers behind the relentless playmaker. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n\n

Bruno Fernandes stats: the numbers from Sporting to Old Trafford<\/h2>\n\n

From a goal-laden rise in Italy and Portugal to talisman status at Manchester United, Fernandes has produced wherever he has played. His record reads:<\/p>\n\n

Team<\/th>Apps<\/th>Goals<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Manchester United<\/strong><\/td>327<\/td>107<\/td><\/tr>
Sporting CP<\/strong><\/td>83<\/td>39<\/td><\/tr>

Club figures are all-competition career totals.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The midfielder who counts in two columns<\/h2>\n\n

Fernandes is a goal-and-assist machine from midfield. He has passed 200 goal involvements for Manchester United, with more than 100 goals and over 90 assists, and he is the club’s first-choice taker of penalties and free kicks. In 2025-26 he set a new Premier League record with 21 assists in a single season, surpassing the previous record of 20 shared by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, the headline act of a campaign that confirmed him as one of the league’s elite creators.<\/p>\n\n

The season the records fell<\/h2>\n\n

That assist record was the centrepiece of a stunning individual season. Fernandes was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season, as well as Playmaker of the Season, dragging Manchester United forward almost single-handedly from the centre of midfield.<\/p>\n\n

Silverware and the armband for Portugal<\/h2>\n\n

Fernandes has won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup with Manchester United, and domestic cups with Sporting CP, while with Portugal he has lifted the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025. He has 29 goals in 92 caps and is one of the first names on the team sheet, wearing the armband as vice-captain when Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> is off the pitch.<\/p>\n\n
