Report: Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pleads with Ed Woodward to quickly sign Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes

According to Portuguese outlet Record, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged the club’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to speed up talks with the representatives of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes. The Red Devils aren’t the only team keen on the Portugal international, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City also interested in him. Sporting have since slapped a £62 million asking price Fernandes’ head, and Woodward is hoping it can be reduced. Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino also wants the 24-year-old, and with a move for Lyon’s Tanguy Ndombele proving herculean, the Argentine could switch to the Portuguese.
