According to the Daily Express, Manchester United would be dangerously close to the relegation zone if not for Bruno Fernandes' many goals and assists in the Premier League.
He's scored 10 goals and assisted seven more; take that away from Man United and they'd be in 16th place with just 33 points.
For context, Luton Town, in 18th place, are on 25 points leaving just an eight-point gap.
Fortunately, the Red Devils currently are on 54 points from 34 games which is nowhere near good enough for a proper finish.
Man United attackers have barely done their jobs consistently this term, with Rasmus Hojlund, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford showing brilliance in flashes.
The brunt of the scoring has fallen on the captain, as a result, who has taken the responsibility with pride.
Bruno's contract expires in June 2026 but he's already 29. No one will blame him if he does look to move elsewhere unless things improve drastically at Old Trafford.
