His sensational form has waned slightly in the current campaign, but this comes with Manchester United, as a squad, seriously struggling.
Still, Fernandes has been able to net nine and assist 14 in 37 outings for the Red Devils in 2021/22, a pretty respectable record for someone not playing close to their best right now.
