The Portugal international followed the footsteps of countrymen, Cristiano Ronaldo, by swapping Sporting Lisbon for United for €55m in January.

Fernandes told the club’s official website: “You look in the past and when I’m younger, you look at the players who play for Manchester United and you see the biggest stars in the world.

“You see the best players in the world. You have players from everywhere and also, we talked a lot and I told you about Cristiano.

“I looked at Manchester with more interest when Cristiano was here because it’s normal when you have Portuguese players in some teams, you look at them more than other teams.

“But at that moment, I started to look at Manchester in a different way because you see Cristiano but then you see also the team and you have Scholes, you have Rooney, you have Giggs and you have [Roy] Keane, [Eric] Cantona before.
