In an interview, Fernandes expressed his pride and gratitude at the possibility of matching the record, which is held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne. He stated that he would be happy to achieve the record, but also emphasized that it is not the only thing that matters to him.

"I'm very proud. We're speaking about Thierry and Kevin, two of the main names of the Premier League, and for me I'm very grateful and I'm very happy to do it. It's a very proud moment," Fernandes said.

However, Fernandes also acknowledged that he may not break the record, and that he would still be happy with his performance even if he doesn't. He emphasized that his focus is on helping his team-mates and contributing to the team's success.

Fernandes' assists have been crucial to Manchester United's season, helping the team win 21 points. He will aim to continue his good form as the team finishes third in the league and prepares for next season's Champions League run.
