Fernandes laid on two of the three goals for United, making it 16 assists for the season and 100 for the club overall. With this double, he broke David Beckham's record set in 1999/2000 as the most assists in a season.
"Obviously, it's very nice," Fernandes told MUTV. "It's a very good achievement. We're talking about one of the best players, certainly (the best) strikers of anyone in the box. So I'm very pleased to do that.
"It's not going to change anything for what I want but being there with a name who, obviously, was one of the players everyone looks up to, in the way of crossing and the way of passing.
"Like everyone in their own garden tried to do it like Beckham and was doing it, even if you're just swinging your arm, like he used to do it, not as much the ball!
"I'm obviously very happy to do that (beat his record).
"Obviously, it's not something I dream about or thought about but I always want to help the team to get (what we want) in most of the games," he added about making it to three figures in terms of assists at the club, in all competitions.
"Scoring goals and assisting is a big part of my game. I'm very pleased today worked out and made us win the game.
"Until the end of the season, I want to try to keep helping the team and improving on that, results-wise."
