The stats that show Bruno Fernandes is one of the Premier League's greatest EVER playmakers as he continues to carry Man United

After Bruno Fernandes put the gloss on yet another superb individual display for Manchester United in the 3-0 win at Leicester, the 3,000-strong away section serenaded him with a passionate rendition of the song dedicated to their captain.

'He's our Portuguese magnifico,' goes the last line of the chant.

Magnifico, indeed. Fernandes had just scored his 16th goal of the season, which came after he had provided his 14th and 15th assists of a campaign that is threatening to rival his best in a United shirt.

The Portuguese star's 31 goal involvements are behind only Mohamed Salah (54), who is almost single-handedly propelling Liverpool to the Premier League title, and Manchester City's Erling Halaand (33).
