Although the Red Devils’ interest never lead to anything concrete, he was close to sealing a move to England this summer after Spurs’ last-gasp attempt to land him but a move failed to materialize, which led him to extend his stay with the Portuguese outfit.
Fernandes signed a five-year contract with a release clause of £31m in 2018 and looked primed to leave his home country at some point in the near future, but the midfielder insisted that he does not pay attention to transfer speculating, adding that he feels the love from the Sporting faithful.
The 25-year-old is a key player for club and country and could be on the shopping list of several European giants if he carries on his stellar run of form.
