Man utd news update:
Manchester United want to sign a centre-back before landing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to reports from Portugal.

The Red Devils have been strongly linked with a move for the Portugal international, but are yet to make an official approach for his signature.


One player United have bid for recently is Leicester City defender Harry Maguire, and the Red Devils reportedly want to get a deal for him over the line first before turning their attention to Fernandes.

Once a transfer for Maguire, or a similar player, has been complete the Old Trafford club will then look to improve their midfield.


Portuguese newspaper A Bola, via SportWitness, claim United want to buy two midfielders, with Fernandes being one of them.

United have also been linked with a move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in recent weeks.

But transfers for Fernandes and Milinkovic-Savic could realistically only both be completed if United sell Paul Pogba.

The France international has hinted he wants out at Old Trafford this summer with both Real Madrid and Juventus keen on signing him.
