MANCHESTER UNITED target Bruno Fernandes “has it all” according to Portugal legends Cristiano Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho and Nani.
The former Red Devils have all been having their say on the Sporting Lisbon midfielder, 25, still being tipped for a move to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo and Mourinho have both had their say on Bruno Fernandes
Man Utd appeared to have pulled the plug on the deal after failing to negotiate an acceptable transfer fee – but the clubs could now meet in the middle.
But the likes of Ronaldo – who himself swapped Sporting for United – have suggested Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should pay whatever it takes to land their man.
Ronaldo said: “In the national team you have Bruno Fernandes, who nobody knows why he doesn’t leave. A lot of talent.”
Meanwhile, Nani – another former United product who joined from Sporting – said the Premier League is the perfect place for him.
Nani claimed: “I often said to him, ‘you with the strength you have, if you train a little more you will explode and drive the English crazy’.
“England is where he will shine.”
Former United boss Mourinho spoke of his shock at Fernandes’ rapid rise, while claiming he is the perfect, all-round midfielder.
The self-professed Special One added: “I was surprised by the season of Bruno Fernandes.
“It was easy to predict quality, he is a very good player, but scored a very high number of goals for a midfield player.
“It shows that you need to have instinct and qualities to score and he has it all.
“He strikes the ball well, heads well, cool when he is one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
“He finds space in the penalty area. It’s all there.”
Mourinho also joked about Fernandes’ on-running transfer saga in his press conference following Tottenham’s nervy 2-1 win over Norwich on Wednesday.
