Manchester United have been linked with a move for midfielder Bruno Fernandes for practically the whole summer. However, as of yet, nothing solid has materialised.
With less than a week until the English transfer window slams shut, the pressure is now on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Edward Woodward to try and push through deals as quickly as possible.
However, the Reds are still to make their move on Fernandes… That’s according to Portuguese journalist Goncalo Lopes, who took to Twitter to state that Sporting CP are yet to receive a transfer proposal from Manchester United for the 24-year-old…
Perhaps United are now confident that Paul Pogba will indeed stay at Old Trafford, or maybe the Reds just aren’t as keen on Fernandes as the media thought.
One thing is for certain, United’s midfield is one of many areas that still needs working on before next week’s deadline, but with time running out you get the impression the club have left themselves with just too much work to do.
It’s always tough to gauge when buying players from the Portuguese league, but whichever way you dress it up, Fernandes’ 50 goal contributions in 2018/19, including 32 strikes himself, is mightily impressive…
