The midfielder and his male friend were dressed in all-black tracksuits, which included gray sneakers and a white T-shirt.
Wearing large white coats and blue denim, both partners maintained the ‘twinning’.
When Man Utd plays Coventry this weekend in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, Fernandes is expected to captain the team.
For the Red Devils thus far this season, the midfielder has been a crucial member of the team.
He has made 42 appearances in all competitions, contributing nine assists and 12 goals.
Earlier this week, Gary Lineker praised him greatly for his impact on the team.
“He is a very talented player,” the legend of England declared. It would be intriguing to witness him functioning in a well organized, productive team.
“I am not sure if he is a part of that, but he has not really had that at Manchester United.
“He is a wonderfully gifted footballer, there is no question about that.”
Fernandes participated for 120 minutes as United defeated Liverpool 4-3 at Old Trafford in a thrilling FA Cup quarterfinal.
The Red Devils have a number of injury concerns going into their game on Sunday.
Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane, and Luke Shaw are all expected to miss the game.
But Scott McTominay, who missed Bournemouth’s 2-2 tie last weekend due to a knee injury, might make a comeback.
