Man Utd could sign another Bruno Fernandes from Sporting who fight to keep their lead player.

Manchester United are monitoring a move for Sporting Lisbon champion Pedro Goncalves, according to reports in Portugal.

The Red Devils just forked out £60million to prise Bruno Fernandes aside from Sporting 16 months ago, a progress which has changed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team significantly.

And now they could be locked to invade the Portuguese club for a second time, with Goncalves reportedly on their radar before the summer transfer window.

According to Portuguese newspaper Record, both United and hostile rivals Liverpool are pulling up a potential move for the 22-year-old midfielder, who is a product of Wolves’ academy.

It is understood Goncalves has a £52million release clause in his deal, which Sporting are urgent to raise this season.

The Primeira Liga outfit are desiring to tie him down to a new contract and raise his release clause to prevent United and Liverpool from seducing him to the Premier League.

Talk are perceived to be continuing with agent Jorge Pires, who is presumed to land his client a more fruitful package.

Goncalves has just enjoyed a magnificent season for Sporting, registering 23 goals and four assists in 32 outings, while also claiming seven man-of-the-match honors, to help Ruben Amorim’s side secure the Portuguese title.

That form has apparently caught the eye of United and Liverpool, who are now examining the feasibility of bringing him back to England.

Goncalves joined Wolves as a teenager and made one appearance for the club after rising from their youth ranks, before going back to Portugal in 2019 with FC Famalicao.

The following season he sealed a move to Sporting, where he has taken his game to a new level under Amorim.
