"Fernandes made his 200th Premier League appearance for United on Saturday, and marked it by scoring his 100th goal for the club in all competitions. The Portugal international, who joined United from Sporting CP in January 2020, prodded home in the 14th minute of a topsy-turvy clash with Chelsea, in which both teams were reduced to 10 men and the Red Devils came out 2-1 victors."
"Fernandes leads the Premier League this season for chances created (15), while only Everton's Jack Grealish (12) has crafted more opportunities from open play than the United captain's 11. The 31-year-old also tops the competition for open-play shot-ending sequence involvements, with his tally of 35 at least five clear of any other player. Amorim, though, thinks there is more to come from Fernandes."
Fernandes reached his 200th Premier League appearance for Manchester United and scored his 100th goal for the club, having joined from Sporting CP in January 2020. He scored in the 14th minute of a 2-1 home win over Chelsea in a match where both teams finished with 10 players. He became the fifth United player to score on his 200th Premier League appearance, joining Denis Irwin, Phil Neville, Wayne Rooney and Antonio Valencia. He leads the division for chances created (15) and tops open-play shot-ending sequence involvements with 35. Praise emphasized his influence, leadership adaptability and room for further improvement. The win marked consecutive home league victories under the same manager for the first time since December 2023.
