Bruno Fernandes has gone past Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez in the Manchester United scoring charts.
Fernandes scored twice in United’s action-packed 3-1 win over Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday afternoon. The Portuguese playmaker tucked away a penalty after Willian handballed to keep out Jadon Sancho’s effort and he added a second with a powerful finish in injury time.
The 28-year-old has been vital to Erik ten Hag’s side this season, playing more minutes than any other outfield player in Europe’s top five leagues. With Harry Maguire often left on the bench, Fernandes has worn the captain’s armband regularly and has contributed 10 goals and 12 assists in 44 appearances this season.
