United captain Fernandes is set to make his 300th appearance for the club in today's Premier League match against Brighton at Old Trafford.
United have struggled for much of Fernandes' time in Manchester and last season they finished 15th - which ranked as the club's worst final topflight position since 1973-74.
They also lost the Europa League final against fellow strugglers Tottenham to shatter their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
Fernandes was offered an escape route during the close-season when Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal reportedly expressed interest.
But he spurned the move to focus on unfinished business with the 20-time English champions, who last won the title in 2013.
