# Manchester United: Fans are sure Bruno Fernandes will sign for rivals Liverpool

**Manchester United fans are adamant they know the next club for Sporting CP’s Bruno Fernandes after the Portuguese club’s[2-2 draw](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool/liverpool-fc-vs-sporting-lisbon-result-new-york-jurgen-klopp-defensive-questions-a4197761.html) with Liverpool.**

The 24-year-old was pictured speaking to Liverpool manager [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/07/jurgen-klopp-praises-bruno-fernandes-but-ends-talk-of-possible-transfer-to-liverpool/) following the game, and it has started to worry some of the Old Trafford faithful.

Fernandes played a key role in Sporting CP’s draw with Liverpool, pitching in with [one goal and an assist](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool/liverpool-fc-vs-sporting-lisbon-result-new-york-jurgen-klopp-defensive-questions-a4197761.html), including a strike from more than 20 yards.

He said: “The situation is that he is here, but we don’t know what the future will bring. We know he plays very well, we know that clubs like him, so we have to see what happens.”

“The job of the coach is to realise that some players will go before the end of the window. Every player can go, and we can also buy players.”[(Source: The Evening Standard)](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/manchesterunited/man-utd-become-frustrated-bruno-fernandes-chase-marcel-keizer-hints-sporting-lisbon-captain-could-a4197796.html)

Fans seemed to dread Fernandes moving to Liverpool, reacting with disgust.
