Brentford are the only team that United have failed to score against away from home as they have scored at least once their last nine Premier League away matches [Premier League].
According Opta Stats via [Sky Sports], Fernandes scored his first league goal against the South London side, which means that he has either got himself on the scoresheet or set up a team-mate against 18 of the current Premier League teams, failing only against Nottingham Forest (1 game).
