Manager Erik ten Hag is expected to be axed despite his victory.
But captain Fernandes came out in support of the Dutchman in an emotional interview.
He told the BBC: “We know the manager has been under too much scrutiny, but that’s part of being at Manchester United. He deserves this.
“It’s a long season. It was difficult. It was our last chance to get something positive from the season.
“We were here last year and we were not good enough to lift the trophy.
“This season it is the other way around.”
