The young Portuguese midfielder has long been on the cards for Man United to boost creativity in midfield. Especially when Pogba is struggling to leave, to get to Real Madrid.
Bruno Fernandes himself is also eager to wear the red shirt. However, this player still has to wait for his home club Sporting Lisbon to agree to leave in the summer transfer window this year.
And it seems that the only problem in the deal is the transfer fee. Previously, M.U had sent a £31 million offer to Sporting Lisbon but was rejected. The Portuguese club has demanded a minimum price of £54 million for the midfielder born in 1994.
For that reason, the transfer has not been completed yet. Sporting Lisbon have been determined to extend the negotiations as a move to pressure the "Red Devils" as well as any club that wants to get Bruno Fernandes.
However, this approach was counterproductive as both Liverpool and Tottenham were no longer interested in competing for the 25-year-old midfielder's signature. M.U still stays but is determined not to increase the price.
The Old Trafford team believes that as long as they are patient, they will get Bruno Fernandes at a reasonable price that is not too different from their original offer.
Last season, Bruno Fernandes shined when contributing 32 goals and 18 assists in just 53 matches for Sporting Lisbon. These are huge statistics because this player plays in the midfielder position.
He even broke Frank Lampard's scoring record. The Chelsea legend scored 27 goals in the 2010 season, the highest number for a midfielder playing in Europe.
It was his brilliant performance that helped him gain the attention of many "big guys" in Europe. However, Bruno Fernandes' departure has encountered many difficulties because his contract with Sporting Lisbon is valid until 2023.
