While many of the league's top stars got the final day off‚ United captain Fernandes led his side out away at Brighton‚ determined to separate himself as the single-season assist leader.

Roy Keane has given a scathing assessment of Bruno Fernandes and his Manchester United team-mates' behaviour‚ calling them a 'circus act' in the hunt for a Premier League assists record for their captain.

Fernandes has also scored eight times for a total of 27 goal involvements‚ helping United to reach third place and secure qualification to next season's Champions League.
