Premier League: Manchester United may cough up £65m for Bruno Fernandes

Ole Gunnar Solskjær is on a quest to rebuild the Manchester United squad and fill it with young prospects to hand the club their identity again. Ole, in his first transfer window, got in players like Daniel James (22) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (21) who have risen to the occasion many times this season. After the departure of players like Romelu Lukaku, Ander Herrera and Alexis Sanchez, Manchester United are looking for new names who can strengthen their side. Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes is one of the most talked-about players in recent years.

Bruno Fernandes, when asked about shifting clubs, said that he is doing his best at Sporting Lisbon. The 25-year-old added that he has dreams to fulfil, but he does not want to force his departure. 

Sporting Lisbon has a price set for Bruno

Premier League giants like Tottenham and Manchester United were in talks with Sporting to get hold of the midfielder. However, the deal went off in the summer. That said, according to reports, Sporting Lisbon are considering selling the players if anyone meets their price-tag of £65 million. It is reported that Sporting Lisbon have a debt of £57 million which can be paid if they sell their 25-year-old skipper. Bruno Fernandes looks like the best option to solve Manchester United's midfield crisis as the Portuguese has netted nine goals in 17 games for Sporting this season.
