Ole Gunnar Solskjaer demands the signing of Bruno Fernandes

If there's one big team in Europe that's looking at this upcoming summer transfer window with a significant amount of hope, that's Manchester United. The Red Devils are in need of reinforcements all over the pitch if they're to even have a chance of fighting for the UEFA Champions League in the 2020-21 season.

Bruno Fernandes is among the names that have been widely linked with Manchester United. The Sporting Lisbon midfielder lit up the league with some spectacular performances. His consistency has made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe. Fernandes has 28 goals and 13 assists to his name from central midfield.

Manchester United will have to wait till May 25 for the Portuguese Cup Final to get over before making an official move. Latest reports are claiming that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer demands the signing of the midfielder and has urged the United top brass to seal the deal.
