Man United Transfer News: Manchester United offer €70 million plus a player to seal the transfer for Bruno Fernandes this winter.

Manchester United has reportedly progressed in Bruno Fernandes pursuit and view him as a necessary addition to the team, amidst few resources at the midfield in the club.

Pereira has hardly seen any success at Manchester United and is not viewed by Ole Solskjaer as a player he can rely on. Thus, the Red Devils are keen to offload him from the club.

Moreover, Pereira will probably like-to-like replacement for Sporting CP for Fernandes in terms of position, considering the abilities of the Brazilian midfielder, he can be a decent squad player at the Portuguese club.

Meanwhile, Manchester United was after Fernandes in summer too but the negotiations could not be completed by the end of that transfer window.
