Having scored in Manchester United's victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, Bruno Fernandes has now registered a goal involvement in six consecutive Premier League matches. The Portuguese ace has recorded seven goals and seven assists in 32 appearances in all competitions this term.
Given that Fernandes scored 40 goals during his first 18 months with the Reds, it is somewhat surprising that it is the first time he has achieved that feat. While this season has seen a reduction in the amount of goals he has scored - especially in comparison to recent campaigns - he is arguably performing at his best level yet.
The midfielder, like many of his teammates, has improved significantly under Erik ten Hag, with Fernandes also captaining United for the majority of the campaign in the absence of Harry Maguire. He has proven himself as an important leader, and in recent weeks, the 28-year-old has once again added goals and assists to his game.
