United had been targeting the 24-year-old attacking midfielder as an option for Michael Carrick.
While Fernandinho is said to be signing an extension to his current contract that is set to expire in the summer, Guardiola wants to look at what the future has in store, as Fernandinho will turn 33 in May.
“We are going to take care of his minutes as much as possible, give him a break because Fernandinho is a key player for us. He’s so important,” Guardiola had said.
