Fernandes has been in scintillating form since Michael Carrick’s arrival as interim head coach following the sacking of Ruben Amorim.

The biggest compliment you can give him is that when Manchester United were struggling, and they have been struggling over the last few years, he was still a standout player. ‘He’s got a great eye for pass, great vision, great delivery, great weight of pass, choice of pass to score himself.
