Sporting CP: Fernandes walks down tunnel without waving at fans
Manchester United have made Bruno Fernandes their top transfer target this month but talks with Sporting Lisbon have been deadlocked in recent days. The 25-year-old would add much needed creativity to a lacking squad at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s disposal.

United and Sporting are far apart in their valuation of the midfielder.
But Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha say the clubs have agreed on the amount of add-ons that would be included in the deal.
Fernandes has been in sensational form this season, netting 15 goals and providing 14 assists to his team-mates in all competitions.
That has led to Sporting looking for €60million to €70m (£50.6m to £59m) for their prized asset.
Solskjaer has admitted his squad is stretched and the club are working on getting a couple of deals over the line before deadline day.
He said: “It is stretched, but of course we're getting players back after the break as well, so we will be better off with a break.
“We're still working on one or two things, so let's see if the club can get it over the line.”
As well as Fernandes, United are looking at bringing in a striker on loan for the rest of the season.
That’s after Marcus Rashford suffered a double stress fracture to his back which could keep him out for three months.
