Portugal midfielder Fernandes has proved a sensation at Old Trafford since signing from Sporting Lisbon in January, scoring three goals and providing four assists from his nine appearances so far. And the player, while honing his skills at Sporting Lisbon, learnt his craft during a spell in Italy, where he starred for Sampdoria and Udinese, prior to his time back in his country’s capital club. One of his teammates back then was Skriniar, with the pair spending a year together before the Slovakian headed to Inter in 2017 and Fernandes joined Sporting.
