Fernandes Matches PL Assist Record as Man Utd Seal Third with 3-2 Win

Manchester United secured third place in the Premier League with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes capped a stellar campaign by setting up Bryan Mbeumo to record his 20th assist of the season, equalling the single-season record held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry. Luke Shaw opened the scoring with his first goal since January 2023, and United responded quickly whenever Forest threatened. A VAR check allowed Matheus Cunha’s strike for Forest to stand, but Fernandes provided again to restore United’s lead. Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back as Forest pressed late, yet the Red Devils held on to celebrate both the result and the news that Michael Carrick will remain as head coach. This match also marked Casemiro’s final appearance at Old Trafford.
