Fernandes could be a Manchester United player in the next
The biggest news of the day is that Manchester United are all set to challenge Manchester City in the pursuit of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes, according to the Portuguese news outlet, A Bola. The 24-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a fantastic season, scoring 28 goals from 48 games, and also picking up 14 assists. He was reportedly on the radar of Guardiola but now reports have emerged that United are ready to overtake City for his signature.

Sporting are open to selling their star player, who has a €100m release clause in his contract. However, neither of the two Premier League sides are willing to match that evaluation. City have reportedly submitted a bid of €55m and are even ready to add a player in the deal.
However, reports now suggest that United are willing to offer as much as €70-80m, which could see the Portuguese star arrive in Old Trafford. Solskjaer is desperate to add a midfielder this summer and United are looking to complete the deal within next week.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
