Manchester United confirm signing of Portuguese star, Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United FC has confirmed the signing of Sporting Lisbon star, Bruno Fernandes to the English star.

This new move will go a long way in calming the nerves of irate fans who attacked the home of under-fire Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward on Tuesday night.

The 25-year-old Portuguese footballer has been signed for an initial €55m fee that will later rise to €80m.

After weeks of negotiations, United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward reached an agreement with the Portuguese super club, a move that will surely entice disillusioned fans.

Sporting Lisbon will receive €55m (£46.56m) initially then will receive a further €10m (£8.46m) from United if Fernandes reaches what are considered easily achievable targets and an additional €15m (£12.7m) if more difficult targets are met. It is understood these clauses include Fernandes winning the Ballon d’Or.

Manchester United confirming the deal on its website on Wednesday evening, wrote;

‘Manchester United is delighted to announce it has reached agreement with Sporting Clube de Portugal for the transfer of Bruno Fernandes.’

‘The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms.’

A further announcement will be made in due course.’
