BRUNO FERNANDES has suggested that he prefers playing for Portugal over Manchester United.
The 30-year-old admitted today that United’s current situation is “not positive”.
The Red Devils currently sit 14th in the Premier League table with just eight points from seven games.
They have also managed just two points from two in the Europa League.
And the situation was made worse last week when club captain Fernandes received a red card against Porto.

“I hope that once I get there, I can score and help my club get back to winning ways and be at a good level.”
Man Utd next face Brentford in the Premier League after the international break.
