Bruno Fernandes
The Portuguese international attacking midfielder looked like a serious target for United in the summer but since Fernandes signed a new deal with Sporting Lisbon and his release clause has jumped from £65m to a whopping £85m, United seem to have cooled their interest.
Last season the midfielder had a career year as he banged in a stunning 32 goals and added 18 assists in 53 games.
This season he has not been quite so prolific but teams are more ready to deal with his threat this season but he has still notched 12 goals in 24 games so far this campaign for club and country.
It’s a shame as at 25 years old he would fit the age group Ole wants to assemble and is a genuine goal threat from midfield where United are not blessed with too many options given Pogba’s extended absence which could well see the Frenchman leave Old Trafford in the summer.
