Man United want Bruno Fernandes deal completed within the coming week.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes is one of the hottest young properties in Europe at the moment. The Portuguese playmaker is set to switch clubs this summer with no scarcity of suitors vying for his signature.

According to Portuguese outlet A Bola via Metro, Manchester United are keen to wrap up a deal for Fernandes in the coming seven days.

The Red Devils are also facing stiff competition from cross-town rivals Manchester City, who have submitted a €55 million bid for the 24-year-old. However, Manchester United are ready to outbid their neighbours and pull out all the stops with a €70 million bid for the player. The midfielder's release clause is reported to be around €100 million.

Bruno Fernandes has scored 29 goals and registered 17 assists in 48 games in all competitions this season.
