Sporting Lisbon boss drops huge Bruno Fernandes transfer hint as Man Utd step up talks

Sporting Lisbon manager Silas has dropped a huge transfer hint over Manchester United target Bruno Fernandes’ future. The Portuguese midfielder is reportedly on the verge of agreeing a deal to join the Red Devils in the January transfer window.

Record in Portugal claimed on Friday that Sporting had sent two delegates to United’s offices in Manchester to hash out a deal for Fernandes.

Fernandes scored 20 goals in 33 appearances for Sporting last season and he’s notched six times in 14 games this term.

Further reports in Portugal are also suggesting that a deal for the 25-year-old to sign with United is imminent.
