Fernandes, 25, has also wasted no time in making himself a fan favourite with the United faithful already singing a song in his honour.
And now it gets even better after taking to Instagram to reveal a baby boy is on the way with childhood sweetheart Ana Pinho.
The young couple already have a three-year-old daughter called Matilde.
Now three is about to become four according to Fernandes’ heartwarming post on Instagram.
Alongside a sweet picture of Matilde kissing the baby bump on Ana, he wrote: “Looks like I managed to tie the bills here at home. A baby boy on the way.”
His fans flooded to social media to congratulate him on his latest good news with one writing: “Congrats to you both.”
Another added: “Another assist! Congratulations mate.”
Fernandes first started dating Ana when they were just 16 at high school in Boavista where they were in the same class.
He even chose his No18 shirt in tribute to his other half.
Fernandes said: “There are a lot of reasons for the No18. It’s a number I like.
“The last three years I have played as No8 because it’s the number my father had as a player and my birthday and it’s the number I like.
“No18 is also the birthday of my wife and another reason is, when I grew up, I saw Paul Scholes playing in it and for me having this shirt and this number of an amazing player is something I will enjoy. I know I have a lot of responsibility.”
But had it not been for Fernandes’ persistence, the midfielder would have never ended up with Ana.
She revealed: “We were 16/17 years old. We met at school.
“At the time I was in Boavista and went to a nearby school. We fell into the same class.

“He tried a few times [to kiss me] and I always said ‘no’, and then I gave in.
“[It was] at school, it was just the two of us, it was in front of the school, there was a gum shop, that’s it.”
They married in December 2015 and welcomed baby Matilde into the world in January 2017.
