Real Madrid and Barcelona have a keen interest in Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, while Watford turned down a £25m bid for Ismaila Sarr on Friday, all in the papers.
LA LIGA PAIR CHASE BRUNO
Real Madrid and Barcelona are both chasing Bruno Fernandes only eight months after he joined Manchester United, claims a report.
The Sun says the pair “are closely monitoring Fernandes’ situation” after his debut season went with a bang.
Things have been more difficult for the 26-year-old this term, with two defeats already in the Premier League.
Fernandes was believed to be upset at being subbed at half-time in the 6-1 defeat to Spurs. He has since denied having an issue with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, reports have claimed he was very vocal leaving the field at half-time and was heard shouting in the dressing room.
Solskjaer said on Friday: “There are many reasons behind subs in a game and if I explain every time I take a player off, I don’t think that’s the right thing.
“I explained to Bruno and he accepted it, no problem.”
There is no other detail in the report from the tabloid.
