Bruno Fernandes linked with move to Real Madrid or Barcelona months after joining United

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has arguably been the club’s best player since arriving from Sporting CP in January. The midfielder played an instrumental role in Man United’s late-season push for a Champions League spot last season and has notched up 14 goals and 10 assists in just 26 appearances for the club. But the Portuguese playmaker could be on his way out of the club just eight months after coming to England if the Bruno Fernandes transfer rumours are to be believed.
