Jurgen Klopp Admits Prospect of Bruno Fernandes Joining Rivals Man Utd Is 'Not Nice'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described the prospect of rivals Manchester United signing Bruno Fernandes as "not nice" following the Portuguese international's impressive display against the Reds for current club Sporting CP.

Fernandes rose to prominence after a superb season in Primeira Liga last year, with his 20 goals and 13 assists helping his side to Europa League qualification. He was also key to Portugal's Nations League triumph, and has been a reported target of Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for much of the summer.

Fernandes was in the Sporting CP side that drew with Liverpool 2-2 in the Reds latest pre-season friendly, and after the game, Klopp gave (via Goal) a complimentary assessment of the attacking midfielder - hinting where he'd rather not see him go.
