According to ESPN, United are sweating on the fitness of Fernandes ahead of the midweek trip to Tottenham.
Fernandes sustained an ankle injury in the first half of United's semi-final win over Brighton.
Conversations were held on the bench about substituting Fernandes at the time of his injury and also at half time, but he was allowed to continue before eventually being replaced in the first half of extra time.
The Portugal international was later spotted limping after the match at Wembley but was not wearing a protective boot.
ESPN claim he will be assessed by United's medical staff on Monday before a decision is made about whether or not he can train with the squad this week and feature against Spurs.
Ten Hag will be desperate to have his vice-captain available, with United already without several injured players – including Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Alejandro Garnacho.
