Hojlund had recently been involved in a dispute with Diogo Dalot, during which Fernandes sided with the defender. This conflict occurred at a time when Hojlund was struggling to score goals for the Red Devils.

However, he has since been more successful, having scored 14 goals in his debut season with United. In a 4-2 victory against Sheffield United, Fernandes assisted Hojlund’s goal at Old Trafford, expressing his happiness for the young striker and criticizing the unwarranted criticism he has faced.

Despite his significant influence, Fernandes’ future at the club has become uncertain in recent days. The former Sporting star has been a key contributor for United, having achieved 15 goals and 11 assists this term.

While Fernandes expects to remain at Old Trafford in the summer, he could not provide a guarantee. “I’m not thinking about other things at the moment.

Obviously, it doesn’t just depend on me, does it?” he mentioned to DAZN Portugal.

Furthermore, Fernandes emphasized the importance of a player wanting to remain at the club, while also highlighting the significance of the club wanting the player to stay. This statement suggests a level of uncertainty regarding his future at United.
