Bruno Fernandes’ agent could help Manchester United sign young defender

Manchester United have a long-standing interest in Sporting CP young defender Nuno Mendes, who is represented by Miguel Pinho, Bruno Fernandes’s agent. According to A Bola (via SportsWitness), Sporting are hoping to ‘drive away’ interest from the Red Devils for the 18-year-old defender, who has made 10 appearances this season and scored one goal. Mendes signed a new contract with the club in the summer. The contract is until 2025 and has a €45m release clause. However, Sporting want to sign Mendes to an improved contract with a higher release clause, while also increasing his €14,000-a-week salary. Along with United, Liverpool and Arsenal have also shown an interest in the youngster. source - redrants.com/Join us on Telegram
