Man Utd ace Bruno Fernandes 'proud' of personal stats: But I can do much better!

Bruno Fernandes insists he could improve on his past two seasons with Manchester United.

Since making his debut against Wolves two years ago, only Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah (63) has more goal involvements than Fernandes (55).

The 27-year-old is also only behind Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and Salah for the most Premier League goals scored during that time.

Asked if he was aware of his personal stats by MUTV, the Portuguese replied: "No, sometimes when we're in the training ground, we always have the TV on and sometimes those kind of stats come out but I'm not really worried about that.

"Of course, for myself, I want to have my stats better than last season. I always want to do better than before and also want to try to do more goals and assists, create more chances for my team-mates and everything. But not really, the most important is what you do on the pitch and show you are doing that game by game and always improving.

"It's obviously an honour to be on that list, of course, since I came and being in comparison with Harry Kane, scoring lots of goals last season.

"He was playmaker of the season by one assist and Mo Salah has been fantastic, scoring lots of goals. So being in that list with him for goal involvements, goals and assists or whatever, is always a pleasure.

"It makes you proud of what you are doing as I know there's much more to come yet. I think I can do much better and I will, for sure."
