Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes is a top transfer target for Premier League giants Manchester United who want to boost their midfield options this summer.

Manchester United had earlier been faced with a lot of oppositions in their bid to sign Bruno Fernandes but the other interested clubs have cooled their interest in him.

European sides like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Manchester United are the clear favourites to sign Bruno Fernandes this summer.

According to the Daily Mirror, the agent of the player will meet with senior Red Devils officials later this week over his client.

His agent will travel to Manchester for talks on Wednesday as they try to finalize a transfer for Bruno Fernandes who was in sensational form for Sporting Lisbon in the last campaign.

Bruno Fernandes broke the midfield record set by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard in the last season.

The 24-year-old has a release clause of £88m though Manchester United are hopeful that a deal of around £50m for him.

He scored 32 goals and also added 18 assists in 53 games in all competitions last season thus breaking the record of Frank Lampard who scored 27 goals for West London giants Chelsea during the 2009/10 season.
