This season, he's helped United to the top of the Premier League by scoring 11 goals and registering seven assists.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side sit three points above this weekend's opponents Liverpool and even their manager, Jurgen Klopp, has paid tribute to Fernandes.

Speaking ahead of the game he told Liverpool's official website: "He's an outstanding player.

"We played against him before he joined United, we played against Sporting in the USA on the [pre-season] tour.

"In that game, already you could see 'wow', everybody knew him. But the first time my team played against a team he was involved in, you could really see that he's a difference maker.

"That's what he shows now, he's settled, he's a very influential player for United. I know people talk mostly about his goal involvements which is very important, but he is the link-up for a lot of other situations as well.

"I don't know him well enough but he seems to be a leader as well. So, good signing - unfortunately - for United."
