Fernandes has given his thoughts on Manchester United’s turnaround after his 4u20130 defeat to Brentford in August. After United won the derby, he touched on the issue again, saying:
It used to be an individual, now it’s a team. You can see a proper team that works for each other.
The comments by Fernandes were misinterpreted by many, who felt the midfielder was taking a swipe at Ronaldo, who was released by the club after his explosive interview with British journalist Piers Morgan. In the interview Ronaldo had slammed both the club and current manager Erik ten Hag.
However, Fernandes was quick to dismiss the accusation and took to social media to clarify his stance. Thanks for someone to post exactly the words I said! I know that [it] is difficult to see Manchester United doing well and don’t have anything to talk about us on the news apart [from] good things.
Don’t use my name to try to attack Cristiano!

We carry on, he wrote on Instagram. Apart from the Premier League, United also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup against Nottingham Forest.
