The Bruno Fernandes fiery side Manchester United fans can expect to see from new transfer

Manchester United have finally completed the deal to bring Bruno Fernandes to the club as their first signing of the January transfer window.

United will pay Sporting Lisbon €55m up front and €10m in add-ons, subject to Champions League qualification and appearances for the 25-year-old midfielder.

The Portuguese club could bank another €15m in add-ons based on individual milestones the player may accomplish at Old Trafford and United will need to have registered him by midday on Friday in order for him to feature against Wolves in the Premier League this weekend.

Supporters will be hoping to see the January addition make an immediate impact on the first-team in the coming weeks, and they can expect Fernandes to bring some extra tenacity to their midfield.

In the wake of his deal footage has resurfaced of Fernandes kicking doors in a fit of rage after being sent off for Sporting Lisbon against Boavista earlier in the season, giving United fans a glimpse of the fiery side he will bring to the club.

The short video clip shows the Portuguese midfielder enraged with the red card decision as he storms down the tunnel, breaking a door before aggressively throwing his wristband to the floor.

Fernandes' red card was his only sending off of the season, however he has received 11 bookings in his 28 appearances for Sporting this campaign. In fact, the midfielder has been booked 65 times in his 301 club career appearances so far.
