Manchester United’s season has opened with plenty of drama already, from Ruben Amorim’s bold tactical decisions to uncertainty around several key players.
The focus has also been on how United will respond after last year’s struggles in the Premier League, especially with the pressure on to make Old Trafford a fortress again.
With new signings bedding in and the squad still finding its rhythm, individual brilliance has already started to shine through despite mixed results.
Amidst all this, one figure has stood out for United with performances that underline his importance to Amorim’s plans.
According to data shared by Squawka via X, Bruno Fernandes has created the most chances in the Premier League so far this season.

His tally of 12 chances in just three matches puts him level with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe, who has matched that total across France’s Ligue 1 fixtures.
Bruno’s creativity has come in games against Arsenal, Fulham and Burnley where he has consistently carved open opportunities for his teammates.
Even in difficult moments for United, his vision and passing range have been crucial in unlocking opposition defences.
Although he missed a penalty in the clash against Fulham, his response has been nothing short of outstanding, and shown in these stats.
This record is not only the highest in England’s top flight but also joint-best across all of Europe’s top five leagues in the 2025/26 campaign.
It places the United captain in elite company and highlights just how much he drives the team forward.
Bruno Fernandes has often carried the creative burden at Old Trafford, and these early statistics only strengthen the argument that Amorim’s United remain reliant on his influence in the final third.
Matching Mbappe’s numbers is no small feat, especially given the Frenchman’s reputation as one of the world’s best players.
The challenge for United will be turning Bruno’s chance creation into goals, something Amorim will hope improves in the coming weeks as new arrivals settle into the side.
