Here’s Sky Sports News’ news chief Bryan Swanson with an update on Manchester United’s pursuit of Bruno Fernandes:
“This one is running and running. Fernandes wants to join Manchester United – and Sporting could do with finance. United want him too but this ultimately comes down to a difference in opinion on valuation.
“The super-agent Jorge Mendes told me yesterday that Fernandes will leave Sporting Lisbon, if not this month then in the summer.
“But the deal is still active and there are still positive feelings from the Portugal end that this will be done. It’s a case of watching this space.”
