Fernandes arrived at the theatre of dreams from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, but Solskjaer's side could have lost the player just over a year later when they were among 11 other clubs to sign up for the competition.

Premier League

Rio Ferdinand has hailed Edouard Mendy as ‘one of the signings of last season’ and believes the Chelsea goalie was ‘massively overlooked’ after missing out on the Ballon d’Or shortlist.
