Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing one of Manchester United’s key players

Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing a shock move for Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes – in a potential blow to the club’s plans for the coming seasons.

The Spanish giants have had a presence at “every” recent United fixture both home and away as they weigh up a move for the Portugal international. That is according to the Daily Star, who claim Fernandes is viewed as a potential successor to former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Luka Modric, who is out of contract with Madrid in the summer. He also turns 40 in September and could potentially retire at the end of the season.

Before the international break, Fernandes produced some influential form as he scored a free-kick in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford before netting a hat-trick as United beat Real Sociedad 4-1 in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash to set up a quarter final with Lyon. Fernandes then provided two assists and scored as the Red Devils won 3-0 at Leicester City.

Fernandes “big part” of Man United rebuild

Speaking earlier this month, Fernandes revealed he had an offer to leave United in the summer. He sat down for talks with the club and eventually signed a new contract. He revealed how he was told he was a big part of United’s rebuild.
