“Sometimes when we’re in the training ground, we always have the TV on and sometimes those kind of stats come out but I’m not really worried about that," he told Manchester United TV
“Of course, for myself, I want to have my stats better than last season.
“I always want to do better than before and also want to try to do more goals and assists, create more chances for my team-mates and everything.

"It’s obviously an honour to be on that list, of course, since I came and being in comparison with Harry Kane, scoring lots of goals last season and he was playmaker of the season by one assist.
"Mo Salah has been fantastic, scoring lots of goals. So being in that list with him for goal involvements, goals and assists or whatever, is always a pleasure.
"It makes you proud of what you are doing as I know there’s much more to come yet."
United face rivals Leeds on Sunday – against whom Fernandes bagged an opening day hat-trick in a 5-1 thrashing.
