The list of midfielders on Manchester United’s wish list is long. First choice Elliot Ander now seems well on his way to City, last month a new candidate moved onto the list. Here, United have a big advantage, Bruno Fernandes is the big idol.
It is about Mateus Fernandes. West Ham are holding on to the relegation zone with their fingers, but have only three games to rise above and force Tottenham into relegation. West Ham are of course under a lot of pressure, player sales could be in the pipeline if the Premier League ticket is not kept for next season.

According to The Telegraph , Manchester United are ready to step up their hunt to lure Fernandes away from West Ham, with United’s director of football Jason Wilcox ready to “intensify” their efforts to sign the 21-year-old. With PSG also on the offensive, Wilcox is eager to get a deal done as soon as possible, it is reported.
Manchester United have been keeping a close eye on Fernandes all season, so now United are ready to make their move, where the club is strong, especially with the 21-year-old’s great admiration for club captain Bruno Fernandes.

When I was at Sporting, I looked up to him and tried to learn from him. He plays in the same league as me, he has a lot of experience with the national team, and in the Premier League I try to see him a lot. Without a doubt, he stands out, it came from West Ham-Fernandes.
