Roy Keane on the handball call:

“We are confused ourselves here, especially when the referee gets asked to go to the screen and then gives it.

“All of us ex footballers will all be saying the same, handball, and I don't think anyone would have complained about it. We were all scratching our heads when it was allowed.”

Bruno Fernandes tells Sky Sports:

“Everyone knew that [the assist record] was important. They were trying everything they could to score from my passes. I’m very happy, but more than that, I’m happy for the win.

“I want collective awards more than anything. But I’m grateful that people think I should be player of the season. I got to 20 today. Let’s see if I do [break the record] in the final game. But I am happy no matter what.”

Bruno Fernandes ties Premier League assist record alongside Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne

Bruno Fernandes has tied the Premier League’s assist record for a single campaign after drawing level with Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne on 20.

The Portuguese midfielder has enjoyed a fine season, earning him the FWA Footballer of the Year ahead of Declan Rice and others after playing a big part in United’s resurgence under Michael Carrick.

Fernandes set up Bryan Mbeumo with a cross from the right against Nottingham Forest to move ahead of Mesut Ozil and break his tie for third.

FULL-TIME: Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest

A happy day for United. A triumphant farewell for Casemiro. A share of a record for Fernandes. Three goals, 29 shots, third place guaranteed. It all explains why Carrick will get the job on a permanent basis. Forest will undoubtedly complain about the second goal, but the better team won, well as Gibbs-White and Anderson played.
