The Spaniard left the Red Devils to join Benfica on a permanent basis last summer and he has been a key player for them at left-back.

United have the option to re-sign him for £17m next year and it has been widely reported that the club could trigger the buy-back clause.

Amidst this, Fernandez has clarified that he is very happy at Benfica.

He said: "It is always nice to have teams call you and everyone wants to grow, but I am doing very well here. [Manchester] United have a signed purchase option, but I am very happy here."
