Man Utd star Fernandes overtakes Beckham record in Atletico Madrid draw

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has broken a club record in the Champions League.

The Portuguese creative star assisted the team's only goal during a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid away from home in the Round of 16 on Wednesday.

In providing the pass for Anthony Elanga's equalizer, Fernandes broke a record of becoming the first player in Champions League history from an English team to assist a goal in six successive games in the competition.

Fernandes broke a record that was held by David Beckham, who managed the feat in 1998.

While the midfielder is in good company with this stat, he and the rest of the team will be hoping to up their game in the second leg against Atlético, if they are to secure passage to the Quarter-Finals.
