In an interview with Portuguese broadcaster Canal 11, Fernandes said:
“I want to stay at Manchester United as long as I feel desired.”
He also shared his ambitions beyond England, showing his interest in experiencing other leagues:
- Spain & Italy: Fernandes said, “I would like to experience the Spanish league and fight for big titles in Italy. I have many connections to Italy — my daughter was born there.”
- Return to Portugal: “I’ve already thought about returning to Portugal. Sporting would be my first option. I want to be happy like I was with Sporting, but I don’t want to damage the image I left behind. I want to add to it,” added Fernandes.
