Manchester United are weighing up a summer move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has advised Ed Woodward that midfield is an area that needs strengthening in the window following Marouane Fellaini's exit in January.
United have outlined a number of possible targets with Fernandes high on their list.
The 24-year-old possesses the creative spark Solskjaer is looking for and also has an eye for a goal.
According to The Evening Standard, United are preparing to make a move for the Portugal international, who has attracted interest from several high-profile clubs around Europe.
United's interest in Fernandes comes amid speculation that Ander Herrera is ready to leave the club on a free in the summer to join Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spaniard's contract is up at the end of the season and the French giants are willing to offer him a bumper £150,000-a-week deal over three years.
The lack of depth in midfielder is already an issue for Solskjaer and if Herrera was to leave the Norwegian would want to bring in another player to replace him.
Solskjaer is yet to be confirmed as United's manager on a permanent basis but is advising Woodward on transfer strategy for the summer.

Why would Herrera want to leave Man Utd? is he not happy with the current management? instead of Herrera going, Fred or Matic shuld leave.
Fred is a good he just needs time on the pitch

If PSG want Herara then sign Rabiot and send them a message who is the boss
Haha, Rabiot would undoubtedly upgrade Utd's midfield. His game is up there with the best

Please don't sell Ander Herrera because we will be losing a player that knows what the badge stands for He's my choice for captaincy because he gives his all so they shouldn't go for players that play in easy leagues thinking that they will adapt quickly to the intensity of the premier league we already saw that with Memphis and we are seeing this with Fred it takes time to adapt so losing Herrera would be a mistake give him a extra 2 years

Pogba better leave the team, I prefer Herrera to pogba anytime any day. They should offload Pogba and bring a good midfielder to pair with Herrera. Pogba heart is not in united then why keeping him? You can see how he is playing. So sluggish, no passion, looses the ball to opponent often, can’t track back to help the defense. I still wonder why should a player like that should be kept. I keep saying Pogba is the problem of that midfield. Mourhino is 100% right, he is really a virus.

Why can't we give Herrera a new contract and still buy this Porto midfielder, this is the problem Mourinho had with Ed, if the money is available buy the players now, Madrid, Barcelona already closed deals before the season even ended. Letting Herrera will be a big mistake

The guys a talent and actually developed in Italy. We definitely lack goals and creativity beyond Pogba in CM. We seem obsessed with playing two defensive minded CM’s in a 4-3-3, rather than two offensive CM’s who work hard for the team. We need more goals and assist next season!
