Manchester United have opened talks with Sporting Lisbon over Bruno Fernandes and could make an offer in the coming days, according to reports in Portugal.
O Jogo say that United are preparing a proposal to buy the Sporting Lisbon captain, with his club holding out for £60million.
United have a shortage of midfielders with Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay injured and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to do business in the January window.
