Fernandes Equals Assist Record in United's 3-2 Win

In a thrilling encounter at Old Trafford on February 3, 2024, Bruno Fernandes equaled the Premier League record for assists in a single season, reaching 20 assists, as Manchester United secured a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. Fernandes's record-tying assist came when he provided a cross that Bryan Mbeumo converted for United's third goal.

The match was marked by controversy, including a handball incident involving Matheus Cunha that went unpunished despite a VAR review. United took the lead early with a volley from Luke Shaw, but Forest equalized shortly after halftime through Morgan Gibbs-White.

The game saw several chances for both sides, with Casemiro making a late appearance as a substitute for Mason Mount. Fernandes was close to breaking the record with a potential 21st assist when Diogo Dalot hit the post.

The victory helped Manchester United solidify their position in the Champions League race, while Nottingham Forest ensured their survival in the league the previous weekend.
