# Manchester United: Fans demand club sell Paul Pogba amid potential Fernandes bid

**Manchester United [were linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1214984/Manchester-United-transfer-news-Bruno-Fernandes-Sporting-Lisbon-strong-interest) with Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes all summer, with rumours repeatedly making headlines across the country – and now some supporters want the club to sell Paul Pogba so they can make the deal happen.**

Fernandes, who racked up a phenomenal [20 goals and 13 assists in in 33 appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/123761/History/Bruno-Fernandes) for Sporting last season from midfield, has definitely continued that fine form this time round – bagging a further [five goals and six assists in 2019/2020](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/123761/History/Bruno-Fernandes) so far.

These incredible numbers, combined with the fact United are debatably short on world-class attacking midfielders (Jesse Lingard has failed to score a Premier League goal this season), have prompted rumours to [circulate for months](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1159764/Bruno-Fernandes-Manchester-United-transfer-news-Sporting-Lisbon-Harry-Maguire) over the Portuguese’ potential signing at Old Trafford.

Now, due to a tweet put out [by the United Stand](https://twitter.com/unitedstandmufc/status/1204119909644591106?s=21), supporters have been in full voice on their stance over whether they sell Pogba to potentially fund new deals like Fernandes – and the overwhelming consensus is they definitely should.

Here’s what they had to say on social media.

> Sell him for £130 million. Reinvest that money by signing Maddison and McGinn to replace him and improve midfield

> Bruno his assist alone will bridge front to back this midfield mint with a hole becomes a trebor extra strong midfield to hot to Handel . Seriously Bruno will not score as many goals in the premier But when you start with such a high rate 5 goals + 4 assists 25% of his form
