# Manchester United: Fans hold hope they can sign attacker in January

**Manchester United fans are praying to a higher power that they can still sign Bruno Fernandes in the January transfer window.**

The hope comes after the closure of the summer transfer window in Spain with no confirmation that Fernandes completed a [prospective move to Real Madrid](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9842560/man-utd-spurs-bruno-fernandes-real-madrid-transfer/).

Fernandes was heavily linked with a move to England in the summer transfer window, with both the Old Trafford giants and Tottenham Hotspur linked with a move.

The Sporting CP player came out and said in an interview that the Portuguese club blocked a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer [(via Sky Sports)](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11798475/bruno-fernandes-says-he-agreed-deal-with-tottenham-but-sporting-blocked-move).

The 24-year-old enjoyed a stunning campaign last season, scoring 32 goals and assisting 18 in all competitions for Sporting [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bruno-fernandes/leistungsdaten/spieler/240306/plus/0?saison=2018).

With Real seemingly failing to complete a move for the star, United fans are praying the club can resurrect a deal to sign Fernandes in the future.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Old Trafford faithful:

> Pray to God, Utd see sense and go in for him in January.
