# Manchester United: Fans feeling impatient after report concerning Bruno Fernandes

**Manchester United fans were bemoaning the club’s approach to the potential transfer of Bruno Fernandes after they received an update on the club’s chase of Sporting CP star.**

[According to The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/united-to-continue-talks-with-sporting-over-midfielder-bruno-fernandes-zn0svz7z2), the Portuguese side are holding out for €60m + €10m in add-ons (roughly £60m), while United are hopeful they will take just initial figure. The fee being reported means Fernandes will cost less former [Leicester City](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49224905) man Harry Maguire, who was bought for £80m last summer.

One fan was feeling unhappy about the club’s ‘hope’ over the Liga Nos outfit’s demands.

After enjoying a stellar 2018/2019 season, the 25-year-old has continued his hot streak in terms of goal contributions, notching up 15 goals and 13 assists across all competitions [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-fernandes/leistungsdaten/spieler/240306). In comparison to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, the midfielder averages [more shots per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/123761/Show/Bruno-Fernandes) (3.6) in Liga Nos than any of the [United squad in the Premier League](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United).

Fans were left feeling unhappy with the club over the pursuit of the player as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Old Trafford faithful:
