Former striker Louis Saha has claimed that Manchester United should have signed Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
Despite constant speculation regarding his future since the end of last season, United opted against signing the 24-year-old before the start of the new Premier League campaign.
The Frenchman told Record:
"Bruno Fernandes is a player of great technical quality who could be extremely decisive at various points in United's game, but more than that, he's a born leader and that's what Manchester United are missing this season.
"Only time can tell, but judging from everything that has happened, United made a mistake by not buying Bruno Fernandes and not signing a creative midfield player."
