In regards to Fernandes, Manchester United remains in talks with Sporting over a deal.
The clubs are thought to be around £10m apart in their valuation of the player.
United are cautious about paying what they deem to be over the odds for Fernandes, as it’s likely to hold them back in negotiations for other targets in the summer.
Fernandes was Man of the Match last night for Sporting as they beat Maritimo 1-0.

Sporting boss Silas was asked whether this would be the midfielder’s last game.
"I can't confirm it [if Bruno Fernandes made his last appearance against Maritimo], I would like him to stay,” he said.
“Right now I don't know if he will stay or not, but I would like to count on him at least until the end of the season."
Back in December, Jose Mourinho ruled out a move for Fernandes despite fears Eriksen would leave.
"I would definitely say no because Bruno is a player of a level and value that is not for us," he said.
"We are not a club that is going to make big transfers in the market, nor is it going towards players who are already developed or at a certain level of expectation, also economically.”
