Another area United need to strengthen is in the centre of the park, where they are short of numbers at the moment, particularly after the loss of Ander Herrera, who has joined PSG on a free transfer. They will also be looking with someone who is able to provide goals from midfield, as it is something they have been lacking in recent seasons. Pogba may have scored 16 times in all competitions last season, but half of these goals did come from the penalty spot.

Fernandes showed last season that he is the man to get the goals from midfield, as he netted 31 times in 50 games in all competitions, in the process, winning the Primeira Liga Player of the Year. The Portuguese international does look to be on the cusp of leaving Sporting after appearing to make a tearful farewell following their friendly with Valencia on Sunday, amidst reports of a deal in the region of £70 million being agreed with United.
