While Fernandes may only be achieving this from a far lower number of games than the others just below him on this list, there’s no denying it’s a fantastic first year at Old Trafford for him.
If the 26-year-old can continue to perform at anything close to this, he’ll still be up there with some recent United greats, with legends such as Eric Cantona and Wayne Rooney close behind him in terms of their goal contributions.
What a signing Fernandes has been – can he now inspire United to a surprise Premier League title win as they close the gap on league leaders Liverpool?
He will keep on improving.
