Solskjaer eyeing smooth deals for Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix

Manchester United are plotting a move for Bruno Fernandes this summer

Manchester United have promised to back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the transfer window, and the Norwegian has already shortlisted the players he wants at Old Trafford at the start of the next season.

If reports from Evening Standard are to be believed, Solskjaer is keen on recruiting Portuguese duo Joao Felix and Bruno Fernandes for a combined fee of £150m. However, the major stumbling block in any deal to sign the players will be whether they will agree to play for a club that might not be able to participate in the Champions League next season.

Joao Felix could cost around £100m, but with United also chasing Jadon Sancho who is valued at around £80m, it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils agree on forking out the required cash for two teenagers in the same transfer window.

Bruno Fernandes is also being viewed as an option to add creativity and goals to the United midfield.
