Bruno Fernandes has vowed to contribute more goals and assists to Manchester United's cause this season.
Fernandes has been a sensation at Old Trafford since arriving in Manchester from Sporting Libson in January 2020.
The midfielder has played a key role at the club and the signing has proved a masterstroke. Fernandes has been excellent and his statistics have reflected his performances, with the data showing he's been one of the best players in the Premier League.
But does Fernandes actually take any notice of the statistics that fans often attribute great importance to?
Only Mohamed Salah (52) and Harry Kane (44) have recorded more goal involvements (goals and assists combined) than Fernandes (43) from last season and the current campaign, but the United talisman 'isn't really worried about that'.
“No, sometimes when we’re in the training ground, we always have the TV on and sometimes those kind of stats come out but I’m not really worried about that," Fernandes told United's in-house media.
“Of course, for myself, I want to have my stats better than last season. I always want to do better than before and also want to try to do more goals and assists, create more chances for my teammates and everything.
"But not really, the most important is what you do on the pitch and show you are doing that game by game and always improving.
How have you assessed Fernandes' season? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
"It’s obviously an honour to be on that list, of course, since I came and being in comparison with Harry Kane, scoring lots of goals last season. He was playmaker of the season by one assist and Mo Salah has been fantastic, scoring lots of goals.
"So being in that list with him for goal involvements, goals and assists or whatever, is always a pleasure. It makes you proud of what you are doing as I know there’s much more to come yet. I think I can do much better and I will, for sure."
