An attacking midfielder with a lethal right foot, Fernandes was born in Portugal but started his footballing career in Italy with Novara. Spells at Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A followed before a return home to Sporting, where he made his name as a playmaker who regularly scored goals and provided assists.
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.
