Bruno Fernandes joins exalted company

Our no.18 notched twice in the win over Istanbul Basaksehir, taking his tally for the Reds to 21 goals from 35 games.

As you might have heard on commentary during Tuesday’s game, or seen on social media, the 26-year-old has reached the 20-goal landmark quicker than any midfielder in United’s history.

In fact, according to Sky Sports, only three players this century have racked up this amount of goals in a shorter space of time – and each one of them is a gold-standard striker, born with the primal instinct to hit the back of the net.
