The midfielder and his male companion were dressed in all-black tracksuits with grey sneakers and a white T-shirt.

Wearing huge white coats and blue denim, both spouses maintained their ‘twinning’.

Fernandes is anticipated to captain Manchester United in this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Coventry at Wembley Stadium.

The midfielder has been a key member of the Red Devils’ squad this season.

In 42 games in all competitions, he has 12 goals and nine assists.

Gary Lineker praised him earlier this week for his contributions to the team.

“He is a very talented player,” the English legend said. It would be fascinating to watch him work in a well-organized, productive team.

“I’m not sure if he’s a part of it, but he didn’t have it at Manchester United.

“He is a wonderfully gifted footballer, there is no question about that.”

Fernandes played 120 minutes in Manchester United’s 4-3 FA Cup quarterfinal victory over Liverpool.

The Red Devils are concerned about a number of ailments ahead of Sunday’s game.

Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, and Tyrell Malacia are expected to miss the encounter.

However, a knee injury that sidelined Scott McTominay in Bournemouth’s 2-2 tie the previous Saturday may allow him to return.
