Bruno Fernandes has become one of Europe's most sought-after players after his high-yielding season for Sporting CP- racking up 20 goals and 13 assists in Liga NOS. Not only does he contribute in the attack, but the 24-year-old also works hard in performing his defensive duties, making 1.7 tackles per game.

The Portugal international is a versatile operator- capable of playing behind the striker, on the flanks, and as a defensive shield.

Manchester United have lacked the intensity and required tempo in their recent games. Fernandes is a tenacious midfielder and his ball-retention abilities will surely help Ole's side in sustaining their attacks.

According to The Independent's coverage on United transfers, Old Trafford chiefs are preparing the first bid for Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese midfielder is the closest to Paul Pogba in terms of attacking and his flair could excite United fans next season.
