TOP-GUN BRUNO?
Never before has a United player topped the Europa League goalscoring charts at the end of a campaign, but that could soon change as Bruno Fernandes is among six men currently leading the tournament’s scoring stakes with six goals, although five of these came for former club Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese is tied with former team-mate Andraz Sporar, as well as Daicha Kamada (Eintracht Frankfurt), Alfredo Morelos (Rangers), Edin Visca (Istanbul Basaksehir) and Diogo Jota (Wolves). With countryman Jota the only member of that quintet still in the competition, Bruno could be in pole position to pull clear – although we’re sure Mason Greenwood, on five goals, and Anthony Martial, with four, may have something to say about that!
THE BATTLE OF THE IBERIANS
The Reds are also well-represented at the summit of the assist charts, with Juan Mata currently second on five and Bruno level with Qarabag’s Uros Matic – brother of Nemanja – on four. Again, the bulk of Fernandes’s efforts in this regard came while he was in Portugal, although if his recent Premier League efforts are anything to go by, he could soon surpass Braga’s Wenderson Galeno (six) as the Europa League’s most creative player.
