When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United signed Bruno Fernandes from Sporting in January 2020, the Portuguese went straight in and made his mark as one of the best midfielders in the world’s toughest league. Five years later, the 30-year-old stands as United’s most important player, described as one of the few players United should keep. Nevertheless, this summer Fernandes has been linked with an exit. Although the United captain turned down offers from the “Ronaldo League”, it is not guaranteed that Fernandes will wear the United shirt next season. Now it is reported that the United management has a potential replacement in the pipeline.
Even with a large sales income from the sale of Fernandes, United are struggling so financially that this money must be used for more than a world-class replacement. A potential replacement has been identified, market price of around 25 million euros. It is Krasnodar captain Eduard Spertsyan.
