Santos is young and less experienced for the role, while Tielemans could operate in a deeper, number-eight capacity; the club may still pursue further midfield depth alongside Kobbie Mainoo, and they also confirmed goalkeeper Karl Darlow to bolster squad depth.

Fernandes Ties Premier League Single-Season Assist Record

Bruno Fernandes matched the Premier League’s single-season assists record with his 20th helper of the campaign in Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest, leaving one game left at Brighton to attempt the outright mark. He leads the league with 132 chances created this season, 58 more than the next-best, and has 670 chances created since January 2020.

The all-time PL assist record stands at 162 by Ryan Giggs.
