Bruno Fernandes: Expert claims star is ‘angry’ with Sporting
Manchester United will reportedly not include any players in a deal to sign Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon. Fernandes looks set to play his final game for Sporting tonight with United closing in on a deal.
It was reported earlier in the week that Sporting and United were far apart in their valuation on a transfer with the Portuguese side holding out for £60million.
And it was suggested United may look at including a player to sweeten a potential deal.
Joel Pereira, Marcos Rojo, Andreas Pereira, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong had all been mentioned as possibly being included in a transfer.
But Portuguese newspaper A Bola insist no player head in the opposite direction to Fernandes.
United had requested Sporting to keep Fernandes out of the line-up for the Lisbon derby against Benfica this evening, but the midfielder made it clear he wanted to play as a way of saying goodbye to the club and their supporters.
And the 25-year-old could potentially be in the stands at Anfield on Sunday for United’s crunch game against Liverpool.
If the transfer is completed over the weekend then he could potentially be in contention to play against Burnley on Wednesday evening, but he could well have to wait until the FA Cup fourth tie against either Watford or Tranmere or the League Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester City.
