According to Opta , the Portuguese midfielder created 119 chances in the 2022/23 season, 114 chances in the 2023/24 season and 91 chances in the 2024/25 season. Entering the new 2025/26 season, Fernandes quickly rose to the top of the list from the first rounds, with 12 chances created after 3 matches.
The above figures show that, even when playing in a central midfielder role from the beginning of this season, Fernandes has still proven his influence on the "Red Devils"'s playing style. However, MU has only won 1 of the first 3 matches in the Premier League this season.
Fernandes’ influence will be further tested on September 14, when MU enters a fiery derby with Man City at the Etihad Stadium. This is a confrontation in which both teams are under great pressure, after consecutive stumbles in the opening 3 rounds.
With Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha both injured, coach Ruben Amorim is expected to return Fernandes to his preferred attacking position, alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. In midfield, Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro could play together.
While the "Red Devils" attack has yet to really explode, Fernandes' sharp passes promise to become a powerful "weapon".
