Manchester United kicked off their campaign in the 2021/22 Premier League season with a five-star performance against Leeds United on Saturday at the Old Trafford.
French midfielder Paul Pogba was at the thick of things as he provided four assists as Manchester United routed their rivals 5-1 to begin their season in style. Bruno Fernandes also starred by scoring a magnificent hat-trick.

Other than Bergkamp three other Arsenal players have assisted four or more times in a Premier League tie and two Tottenham Hotspur players also feature in the list.
