Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Manchester United could reportedly look to use Donny van de Beek as a makeweight in a deal as they look to improve their midfield.
According to a report by Italian outlet CMW, United are prepared to offer the Dutchman to AC Milan in a swap deal for Ismael Bennacer.
The 24-year-old has excelled since joining Milan in 2019 and is reportedly attracting plenty of attention from the Premier League, including United.
It is reported that the Italian giants want £38million for his signature this summer. But United are prepared to offer them Van de Beek in the hope they will be required to pay less cash upfront.
