Bruno Fernandes claims bragging rights over Kevin De Bruyne to cement Man Utd status

Bruno Fernandes topped the Premier League for chances created this season, with Manchester United's Portuguese playmaker beating Kevin De Bruyne in the rankings.

The 28-year-old tops the list for chances created, with 119 compared to Kieran Trippier (110) and De Bruyne, who finished the season having created 98 chances. Fernandes also tops the charts for big chances created, with the metric for higher-quality chances favouring the United man - with 32 he is just ahead of De Bruyne on 31.

Often, these statistics would mean that the player who topped both charts would have the most assists. However, De Bruyne has been the most prolific creator of goals this season, with his tally of 16 double that of Fernandes, who recorded eight as United finished third while City won a fifth league title in six seasons.
