Bruno Fernandes equaled the Premier League record of 20 assists in a season, as Manchester United secured third place with a 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest. Fernandes, recently named the football writers’ player of the season, matched Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's record when his cross led to a goal by Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo was also involved in a controversial moment where a handball in the build-up to a goal went unpunished despite a VAR review. Michael Carrick is expected to sign a two-year deal to remain in charge at Old Trafford. Luke Shaw scored early for United. Forest leveled, but United responded with a goal. Fernandes' record-equaling assist came with 14 minutes remaining. Gibbs-White scored for Forest. Casemiro received a standing ovation. Fernandes was close to a 21st assist, but Diogo Dalot's shot hit the post. The match highlighted United's strong form under Michael Carrick and Forest's improved performance.
