Bruno Fernandes is reportedly close to joining Manchester United in the January transfer window. Midfield is an area United are keen to address this month with both Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay sidelined with injuries.
Fernandes was heavily linked with the Red Devils in the summer but a move never materialised.
However, Portuguese journalist Filipe Dias now claims the 25-year-old is “close” to joining the Old Trafford outfit.
"The story so far is that United this time are really closing in on Bruno Fernandes," Dias said.
"We ran the story that there are talks between the two clubs and we figured that a deal might be close in the next few days, or hours even, because Sporting need money badly."

Fernandes is regularly cheered on at his matches by his wife, Ana Pinho.
But who is she and what do we know about her?
Who is Bruno Fernandes’ wife?
Fernandes and Pinho tied the knot in 2015.
The couple met at school in Boavista in 2012, where they ended up in the same class.
But the Sporting star had to work hard to win Pinho’s affection.
In an interview with Voce na TV last year, she explained: “We were 16/17 years old. We met at school.
“At the time I was in Boavista and went to a nearby school. We fell into the same class.
“He tried a few times [to kiss me] and I always said 'no', and then I gave in.
“[It was] at school, it was just the two of us, it was in front of the school, there was a gum shop, that's it.”
In the same interview, Fernandes revealed how he proposed to the brunette.
“It was a beautiful moment, it was in front of the whole family," he said.
“I was nervous, but she was more nervous than me because when she began to open the gift, she began to realise that something was coming… [she] even dropped the ring.
Fernandes and Pinho are parents to daughter Matilde, who was born in January 2017.
