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 are in no rush to meet Borussia Dortmund ’s August 10 deadline to sign Jadon Sancho, with talks ongoing over a potential move for the England ace.
Reports suggest United have reached an “initial agreement” with Dortmund over Sancho, who registered 20 goals and as many assists for the German club this season.
Ed Woodward is looking to complete a similar deal to the one that brought Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford in January, which would see them pay a lower fee upfront along with performance-related add-ons.
Dortmund are said to have set an August 10 deadline for Sancho’s future to be resolved, as manager Lucien Favre wants to know which players will be staying on board for the 2020/21 campaign.
