Man Utd midfielder Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes got his record-breaking 21st assist of the campaign as Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 win over Brighton.
United had already wrapped up third position before the final weekend of the season and they were ruthless against Brighton.
Fernandes' corner was headed in Patrick Dorgu before Amad then got his first goal contribution since December as he set up Bryan Mbeumo.
Fernandes got in on the fun in front of goal by crashing in a third to end a memorable day.

Player ratings

Senne Lammens: Couple of nervy moments with his feet in the first half but settled down soon after and delivered another cool and calm performance in goal. 7
Noussair Mazraoui: Much improved on his last start at Sunderland. Combative in a defensive position and linked play well when in possession. 7
Harry Maguire: Must have been playing with anger after his England snub. Dominated Danny Welbeck and was a commanding presence at centre-back. 8
Lisandro Martinez: Good on the ball and strong in the tackle. Finding some form again towards the end of the season and will be desperate to build on that. 7
Luke Shaw: Started all 38 Premier League games this season and delivered a strong performance down the left. Got forward well. 7
Kobbie Mainoo: Excellent out of possession against an energetic Brighton midfield. Won plenty of tackles and duels and good on the ball. 8
Mason Mount: One of his best performances in a United shirt and evidence he could play in a deeper role next season. Linked well with Amad for the second goal. 8
Amad: His best performance in a while. Unlucky not to be on the scoresheet but got his assist and gave Brighton no end of problems. 8
Bruno Fernandes: Another goal and another assist in a man of the match display. 9
Patrick Dorgu: Back in from the start and back on the scoresheet. Ran Brighton ragged down the left and could have scored more. Looks a proper left winger. 8
Bryan Mbeumo: Couldn't miss with his goal and confidence returning in the final weeks of the season. Decision-making improved after a slow start. 7
Substitutes
Shea Lacey: Got a decent run out and showed some nice touches down the right. Can play a bigger role next season. 7
Leny Yoro: On at right-back and comfortable enough. 6
Tyler Fletcher: Can be happy with his run out. 6
Joshua Zirkzee: Came off the bench and worked hard but he looks a player low on confidence. 6
Tyrell Malacia: A final appearance for United. 6
