Manchester City to beat Manchester United to the signing of Bruno Fernandes
Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes has been an absolute revelation this season, scoring 28 goals and providing 17 assists and being the standout player for the Portuguese outfit. And with Ander Herrera set to depart in the summer, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had earmarked Fernandes as a successor to the Spaniard.
However, now it looks like Manchester United will lose him to their bitter cross-city rivals Manchester City. Latest reports are claiming that City are in advanced talks with the 24-year-old and are confident of wrapping up the deal quite soon.
Manchester United were hoping that Bruno Fernandes would choose Old Trafford over the Etihad as he stands the chance to walk into the first team and the case would be very different at City where there is a surplus of midfielders.
