Bruno Fernandes has been Manchester United's man of the moment this season.
But his role since Michael Carrick's ascension to the Old Trafford hot seat is taking things to new levels after he opened the scoring against Bournemouth on Friday.
Fernandes tucked away his eighth Premier League goal of the campaign from the penalty spot before setting up the Red Devils' second from a corner.
The Portugal international has now racked up 24 goal involvements in all competitions this term and 12 in ten games under caretaker Carrick.
Only Erling Haaland has more than his adversary across Manchester while Fernandes has also surpassed one of his predecessors as a Premier League playmaker supreme.
Eden Hazard signed off from his time in the English top flight with 136 goals and assists but has now seen that record smashed by Fernandes in 22 fewer matches.
How many more will Fernandes add to his tally before the season ends?
