When it comes to United’s record tally in the division, that lies with David Beckham and his extraordinary output in the 1999/2000 campaign.
The England star managed 15 assists, which is the most by a Red in any single top-flight term since 1992.
Although Eric Cantona features in the overall list, for his contribution to the maiden Premier League season, five of his 16 assists were during his time at Leeds United, before making the controversial switch across the Pennines in November 1992.
So Becks is the man for Fernandes to hunt down, and, if he sets up one more goal, the 31-year-old will leap into joint-third in our own table.
