Manchester United fans have taken to Twitter in furious fashion after it was revealed that rivals Manchester City are closing in on a move to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese international was believed to be a target for the Red Devils, but it now appears that they have been beaten to the punch by their city rivals in a deal worth a reported £47m.
Who would win out of Man Utd’s treble winners and Man City today? Fans discuss in the video below…
Fernandes has enjoyed a truly phenomenal season for the Portuguese giants this term. The 24-year-old has scored a staggering 31 goals from midfield – breaking the European record of goals scored by a midfielder previously held by Frank Lampard with 27 – whilst he also has a crazy 17 assists.
It seems greedy of the reigning Premier League champions to add Fernandes to their ranks, considering the fact they already have the likes of Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez.
However, this kind of signing is how the big clubs maintain their success.
Due to the fact that they are definitely more in need of a player such as Fernandes, and the fact that they seem to have lost out to a major rival, United fans on Twitter are not happy with the club’s lack of foresight in the market.
Here’s what they’ve had to say in response to the latest report:
