Man Utd was heavily
linked with Bruno Fernandes in the summer transfer window but the Portuguese
international eventually stayed with Sporting CP.
Now,
the Primeira Liga star is once again in the limelight and reports suggest that
Manchester United is considering a move to finally sign him.

Goal report
According to Goal, the Red Devils are looking to sign a creative
midfielder in the winter transfer window and a few top players have been in the
focus.
It is mentioned that
Eriksen and Maddison were top targets but the Danish star could join Inter
Milan and the England international might not leave Leicester until the summer.
In such a scenario
Manchester United is once again considering the capture of Bruno Fernandes, who
signed a new contract with the Lions back in November.
Even after agreeing on the
new deal, which improved his wages but did not alter the contract duration
(2023) or the release clause renowned Portuguese source A Bola via
Sport Witness did not rule out the attacking midfielder’s departure in the
middle of the campaign and claimed that a move worth 70 million euros
(£59.5million) could be enough to get his signing done.
The 25-year-old star
was in superb form for Sporting CP last term. In all competitions, he directly
contributed to 50 goals in just 53 appearances and helped his team win two cup
titles.
Moreover, he was part
of the Portugal team that won the UEFA Nations League last year. For the senior
international side so far, he has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists in 19
appearances under the management of Fernando Santos.
In the current campaign
for his club, so far, in 23 games the former Serie A attacker has netted 13
goals and provided as many assists.
He has been one of the
stars in this season’s Europa League having scored 5 goals and provided 3
assists in just 5 appearances thus far. Sporting will face Istanbul Basaksehir
in the Round of 32.
Man Utd go back to Bruno Fernandes
Man
Utd is reconsidering
a move for Sporting Lisbon attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes, as they miss
out on their prime targets.
According to a report
in Goal, Fernandes is moving up Manchester United’s shortlist as they have
failed to sign Erling Haaland. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had expected to bring the
19-year-old striker in from RB Salzburg but he has instead joined Borussia
Dortmund after extensive work from the German side.
The 25-year-old
Portuguese playmaker would be expected to step into the void left by Paul
Pogba's unspecified injury, which could see the Frenchman out of first-team
action for several months.
Added to this, Scott
McTominay is also injured, which leaves Manchester United down to Andreas Pereira, Fred, and Nemanja Matic.
Youngster James Garner has been given limited time under Solskjaer so he would
not be ready for any first-team action regularly.
United have also had an
interest in Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United but a move in the
summer broke down. They have failed to land Christian Eriksen from
Spurs, with the Danish playmaker set for a £20 million move to Italian side
Inter Milan.
James Maddison
James Maddison is
another target for Manchester United, but the club believes they have more
chance of signing him in the summer. There was speculation recently of a
part-exchange offer to Leicester of Jesse Lingard and £45 million, but it is
unclear why Leicester would want a deal worth just £25 million in total.
Man
Utd has sent their scouts
to extensively research potential options at the biggest clubs in Portugal
hinting that they have been caught on the back foot in January yet again.
The club close to the
top four but has failed to find the consistency to mount a serious challenge
and Solskjaer is known to want a couple of signings before the window closes.
