Assists record: Bruno Fernandes hits back at Keane over ‘lie’

Bruno Fernandes has etched his name in Manchester United's history books by setting a new club record for assists in a single top-flight season. The Portuguese midfielder reached an impressive tally of 21 assists this term when he provided the crucial pass for Patrick Dorgu's goal during Manchester United's commanding 3-0 win against Brighton on Sunday.

This remarkable achievement surpasses previous club records and highlights Fernandes' significant impact on the team's attacking play. His vision and passing accuracy have been instrumental throughout the season, consistently creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.

The milestone also appears to have served as a moment for Fernandes to address perceived criticism. In a post that referenced the record, the midfielder seemingly hit back at former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, alluding to a "lie" in Keane's recent comments about him. The exact nature of Keane's remarks remains unclear, but Fernandes' response suggests a direct rebuttal to something he felt was inaccurate or unfair.
