The Portugal international has now managed 21 goals in just 35 games for United in all competitions – a superb record for a midfielder.

Fernandes is undoubtedly a top player, but it’s good to see he also doesn’t take himself too seriously.
What a signing the former Sporting Lisbon star has proven to be for United!
