Manchester United are yet to replace Marouane Fellaini who left in January, while Ander Herrera hasalso walked away from the club since.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likely has a new midfielder atop his list of priorities. One name keeps popping up; Bruno Fernandes. Just a few days ago, we covered a story from The Metro which claimed that the Reds are now frontrunners to sign the super-talented 24-year-old.Anyway, we’ve been given another update in Fernandes’ proposed United move.Radio Rossonera journalist Pietro Balzano Protahas made a bold claim on his social media page…While responding to a fan, Prota has claimed that an ‘agreement has been reached’ by United and Lisbon, with the two clubs working on the ‘last details’ of a potential transfer.An agreement with the club has been reached. They are supposedly working on the last details, one aspect being the commissions. Various clubs seem interested in the player, but for now ManUtd is very close to signing him.— Pietro Balzano Prota (@PBPcalcio)June 9, 2019Prota adds that United are ‘very close’ to signing the prolific midfielder who scored 31 goals across all competitions last season. That’s despite ‘variousclubs’ being interested in the player.To further the report from Prota,The Sunreckon that Fernandes is rated at £70million, while United are also keen on signing his international teammate, Joao Felix…United not only need to improve the quality coming from midfield but they also need to bolster in terms of sheer numbers. Fernandes would be the ideal signing, and dare I say, he’d be the perfect replacement for Paul Pogba should the Frenchman leave Old Trafford during this transfer window.
