British media The Sun said on the 12th (Korean time) 'Fernandez prefers to play for the Portuguese national soccer team. Attacked United, it reported.
Manchester United, led by coach Erik ten Haach, recorded two wins, two draws and three losses (8 points) in the opening seven games of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. It remains in 14th place. In the Europa League, they also had only two consecutive draws. This is why some people say that Ten Hach will be replaced.
Something unsavoury has also happened. The Sun said the conversation was recorded with a bug in the locker room before Manchester United played Aston Villa on the road. Manchester United drew 0-0 away from Aston Villa on the 6th.

Fernandez says "It's not a positive moment. We didn't win the game. But the national team is completely different. It's very comfortable and dynamic. I am in my country, I can speak the language, and I have better food. I showed a good level in the national team. I feel very good because of the dynamism and level of our team. I feel like I can enjoy soccer at a very high level." Portugal will play Poland (13th) and Scotland (16th) in the group stage of the 2024-2025 Nations League.
He said "I'm a midfielder who scores a lot of goals. Always scored high-level goals over the years. I have to live up to that expectation and my standards. I haven't scored on my team yet. This season is not what I want at all. I hope the team can be at a good level for now." Fernandez has only one assist in seven EPL games this season.
Manchester United will face Brentford at home on the 19th.
