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 will consider selling on Jesse Lingard in January if he decides against signing a new contract, according to reports.
Lingard rose through the United youth ranks and became a key player for the club for a number of years before Bruno Fernandes' arrival in 2019 drastically cut his game time.
The versatile forward's form had declined well before then and he eventually joined West Ham United on loan in January for the rest of last season.
Lingard's career was rejuvenated with the Hammers, and an excellent series of performances saw him score nine goals and provide five assists in just 16 games.
