Man Utd midfielder Fernandes proud to beat Lampard record | OneFootball

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has pointed oujt he has now scored more goals this season than Frank Lampard ever managed in a single campaign.

Since his arrival in January 2020, Fernandes has quickly established himself as one of United's most important players, especially in terms of goals.

In just 78 games at Old Trafford he already has a massive 40 goals to his name, as well as a further 25 assists, showing just how crucial he has been for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

His smart strike in the eventual 4-2 defeat to Liverpool on Thursday saw his tally for the current campaign in all competitions increase to 28, extending his lead at the top of United's goalscoring charts.

Lampard's s best season came in the 2009/10 season, in which he managed to score 27 times across all competitions.

Fernandes surpassed that against Liverpool and it's a record that he is clearly proud of. Rui Guimaraes, the 26-year-old's agent, shared a photo to his Instagram story which showed Fernandes' better goal tally and then he labelled him as the 'G.O.A.T.'

Fernandes then shared the story himself.
