The Manchester United captain continues to rack up the numbers in the red shirt, and he leads the way in the 2025/26 top flight for this metric.
His seven assists from set-plays is also a league high, he's created more chances than anybody else (from open play and set-pieces) and is shining in a more advanced role of late, being a key influence in the run of three successive victories under head coach Michael Carrick.
It is worth noting at this point that the Premier League record for assists in a single season is shared by Thierry Henry (Arsenal) and Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City).
