Bruno Fernandes surpasses Beckham to enter Manchester United's top three in a remarkable stat

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes continues to rewrite club history. In the Premier League's matchday 28 clash against Crystal Palace (2-1), the Portuguese midfielder notched both a goal and an assist, bringing his tally of such performances in the Premier League to 18.

This achievement allowed Fernandes to surpass David Beckham, who had 17 Premier League games for the Red Devils with both a goal and an assist in the same match. Now, only two club legends stand above Bruno in this ranking—Ryan Giggs (22) and Wayne Rooney (35).
