Under Guardiola, Fernandinho has improved his passing and game knowledge and is one of if not the best deep-lying midfielders in the PL. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, City will have to act quickly to secure an extension deal for the 32-year-old or risk losing him for free.
He has been a vital player in City's midfielder and part of the club's current record-breaking run in PL. Well ahead of United in the league, City and Fernandinho are competing on multiple fronts and could be victorious if they continue putting on similar performances every game in the second half of the season.
