Fernandes is the next name on United's wish list after confirming deals for Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka last month. Sean Longstaff is also a wanted man, but Fernandes is seen as especially key in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's plans for the club. And the Norwegian manager might not have long to wait to secure the services of the Sporting Lisbon midfielder. Reports in Italy claim that United held talks with Fernandes' representatives on Monday and personal terms were agreed. Fernandes, 24, enjoyed a remarkable season with Sporting last year, netting 32 times in 53 appearances and notching 18 assists to boot.
