Man Utd: Solskjaer should sign Bruno Fernandes says fan
Manchester United and Liverpool are both in the mix to sign Fernandes, who hit an impressive 31 goals for Sporting Lisbon last season.
The 24-year-old was also key as Portugal claimed the Nations League trophy, beating Switzerland and Holland on route to the triumph.
Manchester United have long been considered frontrunners in the race to sign the Sporting star, particularly given their need for midfield reinforcements.

United have had success when buying from the Portuguese market before.
Cristiano Ronaldo touched down as David Beckham’s replacement in 2003, delivering three Premier League titles and the Champions League trophy during his time at Old Trafford.
Nani and Anderson then followed in the window of 2007.
Anderson enjoyed a good start to his United career, winning five league titles, before fading into obscurity under Louis van Gaal.
Nani, meanwhile, won five titles too and become one of the Premier League’s trickiest wingers during his spell there.
