Manchester United are on the verge of making their first signing of this winter transfer window with the capture of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese international is in line for a transfer to Manchester United according to various media reports in Portugal and in the United Kingdom.
The player has already informed Sporting Lisbon officials about his desire to sign for Manchester United in this window and the presence of club president Federico Varandas in the United Kingdom at the weekend has further fuelled the notion that it’s only a matter of time before Bruno Fernandes signs for the Red Devils.
