#4 Manchester United agree personal terms with Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has reportedly agreed personal terms with Manchester United

Manchester United have reportedly agreed terms with Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes. The player has been in Solskjaer's radar since the end of the season, but negotiations had stalled as United put all their efforts into the Wan-Bissaka negotiations.

Now with that deal done and dusted, the Red Devils have returned to their old hunting grounds and are leaving no stones unturned to secure the services of the Portuguese.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player has agreed personal terms with the Red Devils and now only a deal between the two clubs remains to be completed.

United, though, are yet to agree a fee with Sporting Lisbon and their evaluation of the player is nowhere near the £50m that the Portuguese club desire.

However, Fernandes is a player who Solskjaer has identified as a key component in his team for next season and as such, it should only be a matter of time before a deal between the two clubs is agreed.
