Incredible stat shows Bruno Fernandes has been Europe’s most productive midfielder since 2017

Bruno Fernandes’ transfer to Manchester United in 2020 raised a few eyebrows for some people. The Portuguese league is unknown to the majority of the Old Trafford support but his numbers were, however, very impressive.

The 27-year-old, who will celebrate his two-year anniversary at the club in three months, instantly became Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s number-one in midfield and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.

Fernandes is rarely rested and plays even the minor Carabao Cup games, which also shows Solskjaer’s reliance on the Portugal international. Whether that’s a good or bad thing is a topic for another discussion.

One statistic, as relayed by the Manchester Evening News below, shows that Fernandes has been Europe’s most productive midfielder since the start of the 2017-18 season, over four years ago.
