History has been made at Old Trafford! On Sunday, March 1, 2026, during Manchester United's thrilling 2–1 comeback win over Crystal Palace, Bruno Fernandes officially cemented his status as an all-time club legend.
By providing the assist for Benjamin Sesko’s winning goal, Fernandes became only the third player in Manchester United history to record 100 goals and 100 assists for the club. He now sits at an elite table that previously only had two chairs.
