Bruno Fernandes reveals transfer dream amid Manchester United rumours

Bruno Fernandes admits he still has 'dreams to fulfil' as speculation continues to mount regarding his long-term future at Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese midfielder was heavily linked with a move in the summer transfer window with Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid all cited as potential suitors.

United did have some minor interest in the 25-year-old during the summer, but the club at one stage were 'irritated' by the coverage which had been largely overplayed, particularly by reports in Portugal.

After a turbulent start to the season Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been heavily linked with a new midfield addition in the January transfer window and in recent days the suggestion of signing Fernandes has once again been mentioned.

It still seems highly unlikely United would make a move for the Portugal international in the coming months, but that hasn't stopped Fernandes from being asked about his future.

“I’m not worried at all [about transfer window speculation],” Fernandes said after Portugal beat Lithuania 6-0 on Thursday.

“Since 2016, there's been talk about my possible departure.

“I’m well, doing my job and doing the best I can. I have dreams to fulfil but I have no need to force my departure.

“I feel the love here and if I have to leave, I hope I leave good memories.”
