Bruno Fernandes:
"I had the option to join Tottenham [in the summer of 2019] and I was really happy to join them, but it didn't happen.
“Then in January [2020], I got the call [from Manchester United] that I'd been hoping for over 2/3 years.
“My reaction when I found out? I knew something was up, but after what happened with Tottenham, when it was practically done, I did not want to focus on the transfer window.
“My agent called me and told me that United was a concrete option and that they already had an agreement [with Sporting] and that everything depended on me.
“For a few seconds, I didn't say anything because I was crying.
“It was everything I'd ever dreamed of. I just said to my agent: 'I don't want to know anything else, just tell them I'm coming.’

🚨EXCL: #MUFC believe Mateus Fernandes is giving them priority over other clubs following talks with his reps. 21 yo is high on the shortlist with Carrick and data team rating him highly too. Deal dependant on #WHU asking fee + PL situation. @UtdDistrict https://t.co/oqs2RW0IGf
