Julien Laurens reports the talented Portuguese midfielder is likely heading to Old Trafford.
Julien Laurens questions whether Man United need Bruno Fernandes and whether he can play with Paul Pogba.
Ian Darke highlights why he thinks Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes would do well at Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho took a slight jab at former employers Manchester United and their seemingly endless transfer saga for Bruno Fernandes.
Sources had told ESPN that United agreed personal terms with Fernandes over a move in this transfer window. However, failure to agree a fee could lead United to walk away from a deal with agent Jorge Mendes saying his client may stay in Lisbon until the summer.
Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Norwich on Tuesday, Mourinho asked a reporter in the post-match news conference about the status of his former club and their pursuit for Fernandes.
"How was Lisbon? Lisbon was good? So Bruno Fernandes come to United or no?" Mourinho quipped. "So you go to Lisbon and he's not coming? But coming or no?"
The smirking Portuguese gaffer then switched subjects and spoke on his team's first win in five league matches.
The arrival of Fernandes to Old Trafford would be some much needed salve to Mourinho's successor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United lost their first match to Burnley at home since 1962 on Wednesday, with home fans signing "stand up if you hate Glazers," in reference to the American family that owns the club.
