Fernandes’ celebration has become popular with fans since his rise to fame.
Each time he scores, he will perform his “I can’t hear you” celebration which consists of him covering both of his ears with his hands.
It seems he is very much a family man, as even his celebration is a tribute to his children.
Fernandes said: “Matilde, she used to love football. She was the reason why I always did my ‘I can’t hear you’ goal celebration, because whenever we asked her nicely to put her toys away, she would put her hands over her ears and say, ‘What??? I can’t hear you, daddy. I can’t heaaaarrrrr yooooouuu’.”
However, it seems that his daughter Matilde isn’t too happy with her dad when he forgets his celebration.
Fernandes added: “Whenever I would forget to do the celebration, she would never let me hear the end of it.
“‘Why didn’t you do it, Daddy? You forgot about me!’ She watched every match.
He is an attacking midfielder and is the captain of the team as well as the Portugal national team.
In January 2020, Fernandes signed with Manchester United for €55 million (£47 million) which at the time was the second-highest fee for a Portuguese player leaving the domestic league.

There’s also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the ‘multiball’ system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides – but not straight away.
