Deal On: Solskjaer makes get me plea for Sporting Lisbon midfielder

Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskajer has made a get me plea to the club management to secure the signature of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes in the coming summer transfer window.

Bruno Fernandes has been on the radar of the English Premier League defending champions Man City but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to land the star player ahead of their Manchester rivals.

The star midfielder is one of the biggest names in Portugal having impressed so far this season. He was linked to a number of English Premier League teams in the last January winter transfer window but a deal did not fall through.

So far, Bruno Fernandes has scored 25 goals and has provided 15 assists for Sporting Lisbon across all competitions which makes him a perfect for the club.

It is suggested that Bruno Fernandes would be a better replacement for France international Paul Pogba who is linked away from the club with a supposed move to Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid.

Bruno Fernandes is only 24 years with a lot of time to impress at the Old Trafford.

However, it is reported that Man City are close to agreeing on terms with Bruno Fernandes as they are also very keen on his signature.
