Clubs: Novara, Udinese, Sampdoria, Sporting, Manchester United

An attacking midfielder with a lethal right foot, Fernandes was born in Portugal but started his footballing career in Italy with Novara.

A Portugal international who won the 2019 Nations League, he got his break when he became a big-money signing for Manchester United in January 2020, following in compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps.
