Bruno Fernandes has brought attention to the fact that he has now scored more goals this season than Frank Lampard ever managed in a single campaign.
Since his arrival in January 2020, Fernandes has quickly established himself as one of United's most important players, especially in terms of goals.
In just 78 games at Old Trafford he already has a massive 40 goals to his name, as well as a further 25 assists, showing just how crucial he has been for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
His smart strike in the eventual 4-2 defeat to Liverpool on Thursday saw his tally for the current campaign in all competitions increase to 28, extending his lead at the top of United's goalscoring charts.
But that's not the only reason why it was significant as the Portuguese has now surpassed Chelsea legend Lampard's best goalscoring season.
With 177 league goals during his glittering career, Lampard is the highest-scoring midfielder in Premier League history and is fifth in the total rankings.
His best season came in the 2009/10 season, in which he managed to score 27 times across all competitions.
Fernandes surpassed that against Liverpool and it's a record that he is clearly proud of. Rui Guimaraes, the 26-year-old's agent, shared a photo to his Instagram story which showed Fernandes' better goal tally and then he labelled him as the 'G.O.A.T.'
Fernandes then shared the story himself.
Fernandes has already played five more games than Lampard did that season and will have the opportunity to extend his count further in the two remaining Premier League matches and the Europa League final.
