United will hope the Portugal international can provide a link between their defensive-minded midfield and their attack which, while potent on the counter, can often seem isolated. Despite often starting on the right of midfield for Sporting, Fernandes is a free-roaming, goalscoring attacking player who makes runs on either side of the field and into the box. His passing and ability to spread play have caught the eye and he is often prepared to drop deep to pick up possession.
