Manchester United close to Fernandes deal

According to a recent report from A Bola, Manchester United may well agree to the signing of Bruno Fernandes in the next two days with the deal taking a big step forward in recent hours. 

Both United and Sporting are believed to have agreed to a deal that is worth around €55 million, which will also include some bonuses depending on the future success of Manchester United. 

This is a move that has been in the making for a while now, and despite it initially seeming like they’d be able to get it over the finish line pretty quickly, United have fallen into the trap once again of a transfer being dragged out for most of the window. 

They still need a few more faces in order to make a sustained push for the top four between now and the end of the season, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve got the time to do that.
