Bruno Fernandes: Man United 'wasting window on deal' says fan
Manchester United are trying their hardest to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to add to his squad and push for a top four place in the Premier League.
Fernandes has been in sensational form for the Portuguese side this season, netting 15 goals and providing 14 assists in all competitions.
Sporting are next in action tomorrow when they take on Maritime and manager Silas has given an update on how the transfer rumours are impacting the player.
He said: “Very good, always in a good mood and always available to work.

United are desperate to add to their midfield this month with Fred, Andreas Pereira and Nemanja Matic the only players available to Solskjaer at present.
Fernandes would provide another option and a creative spark that has lacked for the Red Devils so far this season.
And before United's 6-0 FA Cup win at Tranmere, Solskjaer confirmed the club were looking to get a couple of deals over the line.
“We’re still working on one or two things so let’s see if the club get it over the line,” he said.

United boss Solskjaer also defended his position at the club following the victory in the FA Cup fourth round.
“I don’t know what you’ve said and written," he said.
"You can see everyone wanted us to fail but it doesn’t bother me. I can’t be up and down [emotionally]. I’m happy but won’t relax. Two big games coming up.”
