Perhaps the biggest question on every Manchester United fans' minds concerns Bruno Fernandes. The Red Devils were considered to be front runners for his signature at one point of time this summer. However, those talks have long died down. Fernandes is, in many ways, the ideal player for United - he can create, he can score and he is a live wire in the final third. The only concern could be his lack of experience in a top European league. However, considering the player's impact for Sporting Lisbon last season, it is a risk worth taking.

In an ideal United midfield, Pogba and Fernandes could work in tandem and run riot on the field. The Portuguese could be the ideal foil for the Frenchman and Pogba in return, would benefit with having another creative mind on the pitch. While the world concentrates on the big names in the market, Manchester United could successfully plot a coup by securing Fernandes on deadline day.

What the papers say: Tottenham are currently holding talks with the player's representatives, but there has not been any breakthrough so far. There are no updates regarding United's interest of late.
