He told : "After this difficult season, it is my responsibility to give more. It starts with me. And it starts tomorrow. We have to give everything in this last match against City, and we have to move forward. I love to step out at Old Trafford more than anything in the world. I don’t want to leave. This has always been my ultimate dream. I just want my expectations to fit with the expectations of the club. If you go talk to any fan, they will tell you the same thing. We want to compete for the league. We want to be playing Champions League football. We want to be in cup finals. That is the standard. That is what I want. That is what you all deserve."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Fernandes has been one of the few positives for United this season, scoring 15 goals and bagging 12 assists. His contract expires in 2026 so United may have to make a decision soon on whether to cash in on the midfielder or tie him down to a new deal.

Fernandes' United side – who finished eighth in the Premier League, suffered a Champions League group stage exit, and lost early in the Carabao Cup – will try to win some silverware this weekend when they take on rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.
