Fernandes looks raring to go under Ten Hag

In April this year, the Portuguese agreed a new contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until at least June 2026, with the option to extend for a further year.

Despite a challenging 2021/22 season, he still scored 10 goals and produced 14 assists in all competitions, and finished as the leading assist-maker in the UEFA Champions League, even though the Reds exited at the last-16 stage.

A two-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year, Fernandes has contributed a remarkable 50 goals in just 126 games since signing.

And his decision to extend his stay at Old Trafford shows his determination to lead a United revival under the new manager.
