Bruno Fernandes makes 200th United appearance
Bruno Fernandes made his 200th appearance for Manchester United on Saturday afternoon, as the Reds defeated Fulham 1-0 in the Premier League.
Fernandes's stoppage-time goal proved to be the difference in the encounter in west London, as our no.8 struck beyond Cottagers goalkeeper Bernd Leno from the edge of the penalty area to secure all three points for the Reds.
It was a fitting way for the United captain to mark his landmark day, on which he was also chosen as our official Man of the Match by the fans.
Highlights: Fulham v United
Here's your chance to relive the key moments from the Reds' latest Premier League outing, against Fulham...
The Portugal international joined United from Sporting Club back in January 2020 and was named first-team captain by Erik ten Hag ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
An influential character both on and off the pitch, Fernandes has now scored a whopping 67 goals for the Reds, registering 57 assists along the way too.
He is currently seventh in regards to our leading appearance-makers within Ten Hag's current squad, as he closes in on sixth-place defender Jonny Evans, who is on 205 outings.
Bruno is once again continuing to make his mark on the pitch this season, having started every single one of our Premier League and UEFA Champions League outings so far.
His first goal of the campaign came against Nottingham Forest in our comeback victory at Old Trafford back in August, as he slammed home the winner from the penalty spot with just under 15 minutes to go.
A superb second soon followed at Turf Moor just a month later, after Fernandes latched onto a through ball from Evans to volley home a goal that would secure all three points in our 1-0 win. The strike was later voted as the Premier League's best goal in September.
Our no.8's match-winning effort against Fulham earlier today was his third goal of the current term.
His hat-trick against Leeds United will undoubtedly stand out as one of his best performances in the famous red shirt thus far, as United ran riot in a 5-1 win on the opening day of the 2021/22 season.
Having scooped two Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year Awards since his arrival back in 2020, Bruno continues to go from strength-to-strength for United.
Fernandes has also won four Premier League Player of the Month crowns, as well as three Premier League Goal of the Month accolades.
He has claimed nine Player of the Month awards too here at the club and has provided countless memories to adoring fans.
Congratulations Bruno, here's to the next 200!
