But he remained coy about whether the striker would stay or leave, saying CR7 must be respected whatever his decision.
Fernandes told Eleven Sports: “There is a lot of speculation. I might know a thing or two, but I won’t be the one to say it.
“For now he is a United player, I don’t know about his future, whether he will leave or not.
“As he said, he will speak soon and they will have time to hear his words and what he has to say.
“He can continue at a high level and give us a lot of goals, but that’s his decision.
“We have to respect what he wants to do, whatever he wants to do.
“If he’s going to stay we’ll be happy for that, if he’s going to leave because he thinks it’s best for him, I’ll be happy for him personally.”
Ronaldo has been linked with a move this summer but several clubs have turned down the chance to sign him – with Marseille becoming the latest club to do so last week.
United boss Erik ten Hag also spoke about Ronaldo’s future and hinted heavily that the Portuguese will stay.

Ronaldo started just one game under the Dutchman but Ten Haag was adamant that every player in his squad will play a part throughout the season.
Ten Hag said, “I have to make decisions. One time I will say I have a squad and we need to use the squad.
“We play 50 or 60 games, so from game to game we will see what team we have to pick.
“I don’t have to mention Harry Maguire and Ronaldo – amazing players and they will play a role in the future as well as in the short term.”
