Bruno Fernandes achieved his 150th and 151st goal involvements for Manchester United during the 5-2 victory over Leicester City.
In a feel-good win under interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernandes scored his first two goals of the season, relieving some pressure after a disappointing start to the campaign that contributed to Erik ten Hag’s departure.
With this achievement, Fernandes becomes only the seventh player to reach 150 goal involvements in Europe’s top five leagues since joining United on January 29, 2020. Notably, he is the only midfielder to accomplish this milestone in the last five years.

Fans will be keenly observing as Bruno Fernandes adjusts to life under a new manager. Ruben Amorim is set to arrive during the November international break and is anticipated to implement a 3-4-3 formation, which doesn’t naturally accommodate Fernandes’ preferred attacking midfield role.
However, Amorim is expected to create opportunities for Fernandes within a fluid attacking system, potentially allowing the Portuguese midfielder to maintain his goal contributions.
Fernandes has publicly supported Amorim’s prospects in England multiple times, emphasizing the manager’s readiness for the challenge.
