THE BIGGER PICTURE
Fernandes has been identified as a potential long-term replacement for Luka Modric, and United are expected to hold out for a club record fee for the Portuguese; a £90 million ($116m) deal would eclipse the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid. While United would strongly resist a sale, they may need to raise funds due to PSR concerns.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fernandes remains absolutely integral to Ruben Amorim's system at United and has made 44 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring 16 goals and registering 16 assists. United are 13th in the Premier League table but they remain in the Europa League. Winning that competition, and qualifying for the Champions League, may well see their situation change when it comes to potentially selling players this summer.
