But after being stopped outside his house by Portuguese television station SIC on Tuesday evening, Fernandes was asked whether the Premier League was his preference. (Image: Global Media Group/Sipa USA)Asked specifically about United, Fernandes responded: "Anything really." Fernandes is now set to arrive in England on Wednesday to finalise the deal, according to Metro. United have been chasing Fernandes ever since his superb performances in the Primeira Liga last season, in which he scored 20 goals in 33 games for Sporting. If he were to join Barcelona, it has been reported that Fernandes would be loaned to Valencia for the rest of the season.
