There was a time when Bruno Fernandes was only about the goals and the assists. It certainly wasn't a bad thing, either. He arrived at Manchester United at their time of need and completely transformed the team with his immense attacking output.
Fernandes netted 12 goals in his first 22 appearances for the club, claiming the club's Player of the Season award despite only playing for half of the season. He'd win it again the following campaign after an astronomical 28 goals from midfield, as well as 17 assists.
Last season was one to forget for both Fernandes and United. It says so much about the standards he has set that only managing 10 goals and 14 assists was seen as a significant drop-off. In a way, it was.
