Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes equaled the Premier League assist record in Sunday’s match against Nottingham Forest.

After the match, the Portuguese stated that Bryan Mbeumo should have celebrated his goal more after his assist:

I wanted B. Mbeumo to celebrate his goal.

I didn’t want everything to revolve around me, because in the end, scoring goals is the most important thing in football.

All the credit goes to B. Mbeumo, because if he hadn't scored, I wouldn't have my record.

So these records are only possible if your teammates execute their tasks as well as you do.

Bruno Fernandes recorded 20 assists and tied with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.

Manchester United is in third place in the Premier League, with 68 points.
