Man United: Solskjaer discusses Bruno Fernandes transfer
Manchester United are closing in on Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes and Express Sport is on hand to reveal how his wage will compare to his Old Trafford team-mates if he completes the move. Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward have identified Fernandes as their top target this month.
Reports this week claimed United are closing in on the Portugal international, 25.
The Sun say Fernandes will pen a five-year contract at Old Trafford which will see him earn around £100,000-a-week.
And according to Sportac, that would see Fernandes earn slightly more than summer signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
A lot has been made of United’s interest in Fernandes, with Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth claiming Sporting are hoping to delay the deal.
JUST IN: Man Utd close in on Bruno Fernandes transfer as Ed Woodward contract offer details emerge
The Portuguese side are hoping to include a United player in a swap deal, with Sporting also desperate for Fernandes to play against arch rivals Benfica on Friday night.
“There has been talk now of the potential of United players moving the other way as part of that deal,” Sheth said.
“The reports coming out of Portugal claim that Sporting Lisbon want to re-sign Marcos Rojo as part of that deal.
“United would be prepared to sell Rojo, they almost signed him to Everton in the summer, it’s though he’d be too expensive for Sporting Lisbon. They’ve got a few financial difficulties as it is.

“As a result, Sporting are actually exploring the potential of other players at Manchester United as being part of the deal.
“Loaning Andreas Pereira, that was being mooted, but we’ve since been told he would not be part of any negotiation with regard to Bruno Fernandes.
“Another name being mentioned is Angel Gomes, he has dual English and Portuguese citizenship and his contract at United expires in the summer.
“One other interesting side note to this potential deal is Sporting do not want to do business, ideally, with Bruno Fernandes before Friday.
“Because Bruno Fernandes is expected to play in the big game in Portugal, Sporting Lisbon against Benfica.”
