# Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes touching down in Manchester has many supporters excited over transfer

**According to a report [by the BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51301424), Manchester United have all but completed the signing of Bruno Fernandes after finally agreeing a fee with Sporting Lisbon for the player – said to be around [£47 million rising to £67.6 million](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51301424) with add-ons.**

The club also issued a[statement](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/manchester-united-agree-deal-to-sign-bruno-fernandes) confirming that the two clubs have reached an agreement, with Fernandes arriving in Manchester for a medical and to agree personal terms. Photos from [Sky Italy via Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/manchester-united/11921268/bruno-fernandes-arrives-in-manchester), which emerged late on Wednesday evening, have also confirmed that the Portuguese playmaker has landed in the North West. United have been linked with a move for the player since last summer ([Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1149451/Man-Utd-Transfer-News-Bruno-Fernandes-Ander-Herrera-Paul-Pogba-Premier-League-Latest)), meaning the six-month long transfer saga has finally reached its conclusion.

The 25-year-old, who has scored an impressive 15 goals and assisted 14 others for Sporting ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-fernandes/leistungsdaten/spieler/240306)) during the first half of the season, could be seen as a viable creative force – especially taking into account his statistical superiority over current attacking midfielder [Jesse Lingard](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109000/Show/Jesse-Lingard). In comparison to the Englishman, Fernandes has blown his numbers out the water – averaging a superior amount of key passes (3.7), shots (3.5) and dribbles per game (1.8), [as per WhoScored.com.](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/123761/Show/Bruno-Fernandes)

As a result, these Man United supporters are ecstatic to have finally clinched a deal – find all of their best comments from Twitter down below.
