In the 25th minute of the game, Fernandes was shown a yellow card. This, coupled with another yellow against Scotland in September, will see him serve a one-match ban, per 90min.
Portugal face Croatia on Monday, so Fernandes will not be involved. His return will be a big boost for new Man United coach Ruben Amorim, who will start preparing the team for his first match.
Fernandes has not had a brilliant start to the season, but he ended his scoring drought in the Premier League by scoring against Leicester. He has four goals and seven assists in 17 matches in all competitions, per Transfermarkt.
He has played every game in the Premier League this season and will likely be a starter in Amroim's first game.
Fernandes comments on Amorim's appointment
Like Amorim, Fernandes joined Man United from Sporting CP and has become a crucial player for every coach in the last few years.
As Briefly News reported earlier, the midfielder hopes his compatriot can bring the same energy he did at his former club and help Man United become champions again.
Fernandes saves passenger
Briefly News earlier reported that Fernandes helped an ill passenger on a flight to Lisbon, Portugal, alongside Diogo Dalot.
Fernandes is said to have spotted the ill passenger on the flight who was seemingly passing out at the back of the plane.
