Interesting observation. Ole already turned his nose up at him over the summer. You'd wonder has dialogue opened already with Poch, behind the scenes in some form or another, with a view to taking over in the summer.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Since when did a 100 million euros not become excessively high. His buy out is 100 mil, however Sporting need to sell him and realise that 2020 is probably the last year they’ll get a sizeable fed so rumour has it they are willing to deal at 70mil.
Is he better than what we have yes, is he a long term solution. No, not for me, and not for that kind of cash. Think desperation is what will probably drive this one if it happens. I’d rather wait till the summer or move for Olmo and Soumaré or something this window.
I wouldn't hold my breath.

@SportingCP96 Good source ? Anything you're hearing from Portugal?
Hiding his face, but i see your beard Bruno.. Arrival at Carrington.
I want to believe.
For the people who watch the Portugese League, how has he been this season ?
Would rather we get Grealish than bruno. If his passing was supposedly not deemed good enough for us earlier, then how did it suddenly get good again.
Who's to say how his playing style would into our set up and if can even come close to the numbers in the premier league.

This makes too much sense. Trying not to get too excited.
We aren’t getting Grealish right now. Maybe in the summer but we literally can not afford to not get someone like Bruno in. It has to be done.
Muppets Assemble! 
To be fair, this has all gathered pace very quickly, which is often a good sign? I'm clutching at straws as I'm desperate for some good news.
Portuguese media have gone ballistic on this it seems.
Him and a CDM would be good business for January. If Pogba and McTominay can get fit then, along with Fred, we should be ok with the chance to then assess again in the summer. Bruno alone won't cut it this January as we desperately need a solid defensive player (whose legs haven't gone) in too. I'd be happy then to think we could pursue a proper playmaker next window.
Pogba sold this summer to fund two signings...
excellent player. doubt he ends up here
Totally agree. Bruno and a CDM would represent an excellent January window considering how poor they usually are.
It would give us a great head start for the summer window and take away some of the impression to other clubs that we will be desperate for signings (which invariably increases the transfer fees.)
Now people are complaining that just one signing isn't enough?
Given how most us expect zero business done over this window, even Bruno + a new coffee lady would be wonderful news.

How will he fit in with Gaitan on the squad? Wonder if they can coexist?

Rojo's going home isn't he.
Yeah, I'll start believing this when there's a picture of him at Carrington. You can only be burned so many times.
I prefer this Fernandes to the other Fernandes
Not complaining, would be happy with Bruno alone but ideally another defensive midfield signing could prove massive to us. We still have the Europa as a way to the CL so I'd like to see us show some ambition to do it.
However if Pogba and McTominay could get and stay fit then Bruno alone would be fine for the rest of the season.
Where's @SportingCP96 when you need him ?
?Don't get sucked in people...Don't get sucked in.
Nothing beats being sucked
Sporting must be in dire straights if they are selling Fernandes in January as he has scored or assisted like 60% of their goals this year and they are still in three competitions and in real danger of not qualifying for Europe at all next season if they go on a bad run.
Portuguese media are a joke. I give it 5%
Not believing it one bit. The Portuguese press are hopeless and drumming up a big transfer involving a domestic talent seems to be a national time pass.
Don't believe this guys, not happening.

I can't remember the Portuguese media going this big before. Would be a all-time low if it turned out false now.
Castles also reported similar so I think this is gonna happen.

Who’s going the other way lads?
Gomes, Chong, Jesse?

All in.
Do we have offices in London? Why not in Manchester?
Anyway too much smoke without fire lads. It’s definitely happening
