Bruno Fernandes is reportedly annoyed with Manchester United over his botched transfer from Sporting Lisbon.
United have so-far refused to cough up Sporting's £68million valuation for the midfielder as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer desperately looks for reinforcements.
Fernandes is United's prime target for the winter window and the player is keen to seal a move to Old Trafford.
But United's failed pursuit since the term of the new year has left him frustrated, report The Times.
Fernandes had expected last Friday's Lisbon derby against Benfica to be his last in a Sporting shirt, but he was back in the side for Tuesday's trip to Braga after negotiations between the two clubs stalled.
The 25-year-old was visibly annoyed as he stormed off the pitch at full-time of the 2-1 defeat, shoving a camera as he made his way down the tunnel.
Reports in Portugal say Sporting are fully blaming United for the move not yet coming to fruition, with the Old Trafford hierarchy not believing Fernandes is worth the price Sporting are demanding.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to add some creativity to his midfield in the continued absence of Paul Pogba.
The Norwegian is also on the lookout for a striker given the injury suffered by top scorer Marcus Rashford.
United's need to dip into the transfer market has been heightened by back-to-back 2-0 defeats at arch rivals and and runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool and at home to struggling Burnley .

Dear Bruno Fernandez we the entire staunch supporters of Man Utd are equally annoyed by this protracted transfer deal. We’ve become accustomed to being linked with the whole players on planet earth and even some in extraterrestrial but yet we will end up with nothing. I keep saying this, until we push this god forsaken Ed Woodard back to the marketing department (where he’s a genius) and leave the football side we will keep going round in circles. At the rate we are ploughing down, it may take us more than 30yrs (just as Liverpool) for us to smell the EPL title again. It’s frightening but true. 🤦🏾♂️

I honestly wonder what goes through the empty..well, I have answered myself...empty skulls of those in charge of Man Utd. I have never seen a player who so wants to be at a club..not just any player but one that is coveted by other big teams as well but yet, he wants to come to Utd and the numbskulls at Old Trafford are unwilling to bring him in. Guess cos he is not British cos if they can spend 80m pounds on a fridge in the person of Maguire who by d way is not better than Bally, I wonder why they wont just pay 55m quid for a Bruno Fernandez who is better than Fred, Perreira, Matic all moulded into one. I just cant imagine.

A week left and doesn't seem we are going to sign anyone. It's going to be a tough ride and nobody knows where we will end up. All this nonsense of supporting Ole seems a farce just like with any previous managers. There seems to be a pattern emerging with every manager since Sir Alex: 1. Get a new manager 2. Get a few signings in to appease fans 3. When the team is exposed for it's lack of quality 4. Noises about more incomings 5. End of the window, no more signings with appropriate excuses 6. More bad results 7. Mr. Woodward finds the perfect excuse of poor performances to fire the manager 8. A shiny new manager comes in with more noises of optimism And the cycle continues. Ole seems to be in the same queue now and awaiting his fate and soon we might have our next new messiah.
