Fernandes asks Man Utd to sign ‘top’ Serie A player ‘better’ than him.
Having achieved the second spot in the Premier League standings this season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United challenge is to shut the gap to Manchester City.
United are currently eight points adrift of Pep Guardiola’s City who were confirmed as this season champions.
United are preparing for Sunday’s trip to Wolves in their final game of the league. However, Ole Gunnar are aware of the tricky Europa League final with Villarreal on May 26 before deliberation turns to summer recruitment.
Many stars have been associated to Old Trafford but Fernandes has pointed club officials the way of Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski.
Bruno played alongside the Poland international while they were both at Udinese. And it is apparent just how highly he considers his fellow schemer.

“Technically, I can say that Zielinski is better trained than I am,” he told Poland’s Canal+ (via Goal).
“We had a good challenge.
“I think in the past, Zielinski was actually a bit shy. He was really young then, just like me, at that time.”
Zielinski moved to Naples in August 2016 and has made 238 appearances for the Partenopei over five seasons. He has scored 32 goals in all competitions and contributed 26 assists.
The former Empoli loan star has also nicked six goals for his country. And he looks set to lead Poland at Euro 2020 this summer.
Fernandes still keeps in touch with his ex-team-mate and admitted that he would love to line up with him once again.
“I have a really good relationship with Piotr,” he added. “He’s a top guy, I like him a lot. He is one of the people I met in Italy with whom I am in touch all the time.
“I spoke to him a few months ago and told him that I would like to play with him again. So, who knows what the future has waiting for us. For me, he is a really, really top player.”
