DBasia.news – Manchester United again approached Portuguese club midfielder Sporting Lisbon, Bruno Fernandes. Previously, United failed in the summer transfer market.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add a creative midfielder to his squad in January to find consistency in results and performance for the rest of the season.
Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen and Leicester City player James Maddison are reportedly the club’s main targets, but it is now almost impossible for both to head to Old Trafford this month.
Eriksen is expected to complete his transfer to Inter when his contract with Spurs will soon run out, while Leicester does not plan to sell their English midfielder, at least until next season.
United are also linked with Sean Longstaff from Newcastle, but the 22-year-old rejected the 20-time English champions’ offer and will not try to approach Longstaff again in the near future.
United are now forced to reconsider Bruno Fernandes after failing to sign him in the summer of 2019. Fernandes impressed last season by scoring 32 goals and donating 18 assists for Lisbon.
