MANCHESTER, England (AP) --- Bruno Fernandes moved closer to breaking the
Premier League 's assists record as Manchester United tightened its grip on
Champions League qualification with a 3-1 win against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Fernandes provided assists for two of United's goals to take his tally for the
season to 16. The record for a single Premier League campaign is 20, with
Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne both reaching that mark.
Fernandes has up to eight more games to set a new record in English soccer's
top division.
Of more importance to United was a seventh win in nine games under head coach
Michael Carrick. United is third - three points clear of Villa in fourth.
At the other end of the standings Nottingham Forest climbed out of the
relegation zone with a 0-0 draw against Fulham.
Crystal Palace and Leeds also drew 0-0.
