“As I’ve always said, I feel good here. I want to achieve my dreams still,” Fernandes said. “If the club has made any agreement for me to leave, it wasn’t with me. I haven’t spoken with anyone.
My agent knows I won’t discuss anything until after the World Cup.”
The Portugal international revealed he had spoken with chief executive Omar Berrada, technical director Jason Wilcox, and head coach Ruben Amorim after Saudi club Al-Hilal showed interest, but insisted no decision was made.
He added that his family’s happiness in Manchester has been key to his current mindset.
