| Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon differ in their evaluation of Bruno Fernandes |
Manchester United and Sporting
Lisbon are yet to agree on a transfer fee for Bruno Fernandes, Sky
Sports reports. The two clubs are currently negotiating for the
transfer of the Portuguese midfielder, but they are still a few miles apart
regarding their valuation of the player. The Red Devils are interested in getting the deal done this month.
United have
been looking at other options in the attacking midfield position, but it is
understood that they have only entered negotiations for Fernandes. The Red
Devils have needed reinforcements in the midfield this season, but injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay have accelerated those requirements.

Devils in January
The Red
Devils have decided that Fernandes is the player who can be the answer to their
misfiring midfield and are looking to bring the player to Old Trafford from Sporting
Lisbon in January. They have entered negotiations with the Portuguese club,
however, a deal has not been finalized yet.
Sporting want £60m plus player for Fernandes, which is higher than United’s evaluation
According to reports,
Sporting Lisbon want £60m for the
player, which is significantly higher than the amount United are ready to pay
at the moment. In addition, the Portuguese side also want Marcos Rojo included in the deal. As such, negotiations are still ongoing
amid hopes of reaching a solution in the next couple of days.

| Will a return to Portugal entice Marcos Rojo? |
The Argentinean wants
to leave Old Trafford this month, and United are ready to offer him to
Sporting. However, it is not yet clear if a return back to Portugal would
entice Rojo. In such a case, the Portuguese side would want other potential
signings from Old Trafford.
In midst of all the
commotion, the player has continued his fine start to the season. Fernandes
scored a brace in Sporting’s 3-1 win over Setubal last week and stays in
contention for the Benfica game this
Friday as well, unless, of course, United can get his signature ahead of the
game.
The Red Devils face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford
on Wednesday. It is almost certain that Fernandes will not be joining United in
time for the game. However, fans will be praying that the deal can be finalized
ahead of the weekend’s trip to Anfield. Only time will tell, though, if that
dream will materialize.
