While Ronaldo grabbed the headlines, Fernandes knows his own time to shine will arrive. Fernandes enjoyed a sensational season with United, breaking the all-time Premier League record for the most assists with 21 in a single campaign. Despite these individual statistics, Fernandes remains focused on Portugal.
He explained: “What matters is that Portugal scores, whether it’s me or not. We managed to score a lot of goals, and we’re happy about that. I’m here to set up my teammates up front – it’s part of my game – regardless of whether I score or not. I believe my moment will come, and that it will be at a time when it’s truly needed.”
