Fernandes, arrived at Old Trafford in January, 2020 and transitioned brilliantly into the side with talismanic displays. His performances made him one of United’s most important players.

The initial deal Fernandes signed when switching from Sporting was for five-and-a-half years with the option of a further 12 months, so the aim is financially rewarding him rather than concern over his length of time.

With Manchester United’s dip this season, Fernandes has continued to perform with 15 goal contributions in the Premier League. He has also created a league-high 66 chances from open play.
