Liverpool FC tipped to rival Manchester United for Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United remain favourites to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes.

United are out in front ahead of Premier League rivals Liverpool and La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.

Fernandes is expected to leave the Portuguese capital this summer after impressing last term.

The 24-year-old scored 23 goals from 41 appearances in all competitions last season.

And his stock has continued to rise this summer, Fernandes helping Portugal to lift the inaugural Nations League title in their own backyard.

Sporting Lisbon are reportedly asking for £54 million for their star midfielder's services, while United have been linked with a £31 million move.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have fallen in the odds with reports claiming they will now look elsewhere and that he isn't a target this summer.

Third favourites Atletico Madrid are now a long way down the odds.

The La Liga giants are expected to complete a deal worth more than £100 million for another Portuguese talent in Joao Felix, reinvesting the profit they are set to make from Antioine Griezmann.

Here are the latest odds on Bruno Fernandes' next club with the same prices offered from both Paddy Power and Betfair.

Manchester United - 4/6

Liverpool - 11/10

Atletico Madrid - 16/1
