Bruno Fernandes Stops Diogo Jota from Joining Manchester United

DBasia.news –  Wolverhampton Wanderers attacking midfielder, Diogo Jota, said he is unable to join Manchester United. Jota stated, Bruno Fernandes was the reason he did not want to be with the Red Devils.

Diogo Jota performed brilliantly this season. The appearance of the former Atletico Madrid player continued to grow as the opportunity is given. So far, Diogo Jota has packed 15 goals and six assists in 37 matches.

The action is rumored to have made Manchester United interested. Understandably, Man United is looking for attacking type players like Diogo Jota. Diogo Jota increasingly attracted the attention of the Red Devils for his ability to play in various positions.

However, Diogo Jota said he could not head to Manchester United as his jersey number had been taken by Bruno Fernandes. Luckily, Diogo Jota was only joking.

“No (the opportunity to join Manchester United). As an explanation at the start, I am a number 18 player. Right now the number is worn by Bruno Fernandes. So, sooner or later, that will be a problem. However, I’m just kidding!” Jota said as reported by Record.

Diogo Jota did not rule out the possibility of defending Manchester United in the future. However, he consider that the decision to leave is not something that should be considered at this time.

“It always feels good to see your name associated with a big club. However, I also know this is not an important issue at the moment. Let’s see what will happen with the corona virus pandemic situation as it is today,” Jota continued.

Diogo Jota and Bruno Fernandes are two players from Portugal. If Fernandes spent much of his early career in Boavista, Diogo Jota was in Gondomar.
