DBasia.news –  Manchester United have recruited two players in the transfer market this summer. They are Daniel James (from Swansea City) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (from Crystal Palace).

Not satisfied to have recruited two new names, United also claimed to be interested in bringing the star of Sporting Lisbon, Bruno Fernandes. The club is also called having submitted a bid worth 35 million pounds.

Unfortunately, the hopes of the fans to immediately see the midfielder’s position docked at Old Trafford seemed unlikely to materialize any time soon, because according to the latest Mirror report, Sporting had rejected an offer submitted by the Red Devils.

The club, based at Jose Alvalade Stadium, is rumored to be releasing Bruno Fernandes at a club that is willing to spend at least 60 or 70 million pounds.

Despite rejecting United’s offer, the opportunity to see the Portuguese player joining Manchester is still not fully closed, because Sporting’s sporting director also stated that he was not at all sure if Bruno Fernandes would stay, especially the players were also targeted by other clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool.

It was not surprising if Bruno Fernandes became the target of some of Europe’s top clubs, even though he played as a midfielder, the 24-year-old was quite productive in scoring goals, last season he successfully collected 28 goals and 14 assists in all competitions.

Manchester United are likely to continue to move in the summer of 2019, the club which had played under Sir Alex Ferguson’s direction is also rumored to still be recruiting several players, including James Maddison, Sean Longstaff, Christian Eriksen or Youri Tielemans.
