Fernandes has been a key player for the Red Devils since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. He was rewarded at the start of April with a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2026. The Mirror reports that the new deal will see the Portuguese playmaker earn around £250,000 per week.
The midfielder has found this season more of a struggle in a dismal campaign for United. However, he has managed to score nine goals and provide six assists in 30 Premier League games. Fernandes has played the full 90 minutes in 11 of the side's last 12 top-flight games.

A stunning hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo ensured the Red Devils picked up all three points on Saturday.
Next up for Ralf Ragnick's side is a trip to face bitter rivals Liverpool, who are unbeaten in the league in 2022.
