Sporting Lisbon are yet to agree a transfer fee with Manchester United to sell Bruno Fernandes, but the Portuguese looks set to complete a switch to Old Trafford
Manchester United moved closer to the signing of Bruno Fernandes after agreeing personal terms with the midfielder.
As revealed by Mirror Sport on Monday, United are ready to offer £50million for the Sporting Lisbon star, in a deal that is set to rise to £65m with add-ons.
Super-agent Jorge Mendes, who looks after Fernandes, was at Old Trafford for Wednesday's FA Cup replay against Wolves to finalise the move.
With personal terms settled, United will look to agree a fee with Sporting in a bid to conclude the deal this weekend.
If the deal is confirmed within the next 48 hours, Fernandes could make his United debut in their Premier League game at home to Burnley next Wednesday.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer moved for Fernandes to bolster his midfield, which had been stretched with the double loss of Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
Fernandes is understood to have been offered a five-year deal, with the option for an extra year, worth around £150,000-a-week.
The 25-year-old is set to make his final appearance for Sporting in Friday night's derby against Benfica, before flying to Manchester to complete his move.

Now Sporting boss Silas has confirmed that Fernandes will start in Portugal’s most historic fixture, in what is set to be Fernandes' finale at the Jose Alvalade Stadium.
"The only certainty I have is that Bruno will play [in the derby]," said Silas at his pre-match press conference on Thursday.
"We prepared the game with him, trained very well. He is the most valuable player in the league and last year he was.
"I've heard some people talk about money. He isn't worth the numbers they refer to, but he's worth a lot more.
"In addition to attacking, he kills himself to defend. There is no player doing what he does in Portugal and there was nobody last year either.
"When we have such a player, it is normal for a lot of people to want it. Only if there is a catastrophe will there not be.”

The presenter is busy splitting her time between London and South Africa after stepping in to host the show when Caroline Flack dropped out
Laura Whitmore took some time out of her busy Love Island schedule for a DJ gig.
The presenter has a pretty gruelling schedule at the minute, flying back and forward between London and South Africa as she hosts the sixth series of the hit ITV2 dating show.
But it seems the Irish beauty is never too busy to spin the decks.
The 34-year-old was pictured behind the DJ stand last night at a pop-up workout party in Shoreditch.
She was entertaining people for CLIF, the makers of plant-based CLIF BAR energy bars, aimed at helping people reset their fitness routine in January whilst staving off winter blues.

Laura looked stunning as she posed up in a vibrant yellow T-shirt printed with the slogan 'Love sex. Hate sexism'.
The blonde beauty held onto the headphones around her neck as she raised her hand up in the air to get the party started.
Laura is hosting Love Island for the first time after stepping in to replace Caroline Flack.
She's starring on the show alongside her boyfriend, comedian Iain Stirling, who provides the hilarious voiceover.
And he hasn't been able to resist making cheeky jokes about her.

Introducing her on the first Aftersun of the new series, Iain said: "She's the lady with the most handsome boyfriend in showbiz... it's Laura Whitmore."
Laura earned the job after her friend Caroline chose to step down following her arrest.
The presenter was arrested and charged with assault by beating during an alleged early-morning altercation with her boyfriend Lewis Burton.
She has pleaded not guilty and will be back in court later this year. She is banned from contacting her boyfriend in the meantime.
Caroline was said to be devastated that she had to leave the show, but proved there were no hard feelings when she sent out a public message of support ahead of the show's launch at the weekend.
She wrote on her Instagram story: "Massive good luck to Laura, Iain and the team for tonight's launch show...
"The first one always the best one. Caroline x."
Shortly afterwards Laura reposted the picture on her own Instagram stories, writing: "Thank you! XXX."
* Love Island airs nightly at 9pm on ITV2

The Health Lottery announces major change to draws which will 'create more winners'
The Health Lottery is proving such a hit with players it has launched two new weekly draws - each with a £100,000 jackpot.
The new free prize draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday.
When you buy a ticket for the main £25,000 Health Lottery Draw on a Wednesday or Saturday, your numbers will now also be entered into a free prize draw to win £100,000 on those days which comes straight after the main draw. In addition, every £1 spend gives players automatic entry into a monthly £250,000 Mega Draw.
So that means for each £1 ticket you buy on Wednesday or Saturday, you get entered into THREE draws with a combined jackpot up for grabs of £375,000 in tax free cash!
Martin Ellice, Group Joint Managing Director of the Health Lottery, said the change will create even more winners. He explained: “Not only will this create more winners, but we expect to see a significant increase in money to good causes. Alongside the new £100,000 draws we plan to run other exciting free prize draws for the chance to win cars, holidays and shopping sprees. So keep your eyes peeled!”
Since The Health Lottery began in 2011, there have been a staggering 12 million winners, picking up more than £150million in prize money.
And more than £112MILLION has been raised for all sorts of great causes across Great Britain - supporting more than 3,000 deserving projects.
Whenever you play charity lottery games from The Health Lottery, you are supporting someone who needs help in one way or another.

thedailymirror--2020-01-17--Jess Phillips: There can be no going back on abortion rights - not even an inch

The great lesson from women ’ s struggle to control our reproductive rights over the past century is that the price of any advance is eternal vigilance .
For every step forward , from the earliest birth control clinics in the 1920s , to the landmark 1967 Abortion Act , the referendum result in Ireland in 2018 , the struggle for reproductive rights for women in Northern Ireland recently led by Conor McGinn , Stella Creasy and Diana Johnson in Parliament , there have been people wanting to pull us backwards .
Let ’ s be clear - backwards equals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crushed , women ’ s lives endangered or worse still ended , by unsafe , unlicensed abortions .
Women ’ s bodies are in the frontline of political struggle around the world today .
I have sat in the waiting room of clinics with women with their suitcases , coming to the UK from places where abortion is illegal .
I have seen the fear on their faces .
Donald Trump signed an order , in an Oval Office filled with men , preventing US money going to international groups that provide information @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family planning clinics from referring women to medical facilities where they may have an abortion .
A rich and recurrent theme of his political platform is the subjugation of women , with endless language , signals , and acts which curtail women ’ s rights and opportunities .
Other populists around the world take their cue from Trump .
In Poland , women ’ s reproductive rights have been reduced .
Argentina has rejected moves to legalise abortion .
Vile populists such as Orban in Hungary and Bolsonaro in Brazil have sought to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and domestic servitude .
Populism is a global movement , and we are not isolated from it in the UK .
Our rights are no more sacrosanct than those of women in Brazil or Hungary .
There are the same kinds of men who seek to undermine us , for the same kinds of reasons .
If he could , wouldn ’ t Jacob Rees Mogg want to repeal the 1967 Abortion Act , just as surely as some US politicians want to repeal Roe v Wade , the 1973 Supreme Court judgement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not just men : Tory MP Maria Caufield has spoken in support of lowering the term limit for abortion to 12 weeks , and she is not the only one .
The proper response to this global onslaught on our rights and choices is resistance .

The role of the Labour Party must be to defend women ’ s reproductive rights , and to work with women ’ s organisations and advocacy groups to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our bodies .
Women must know that Labour is on their side .
As a woman who has undergone an abortion , this is not something I take lightly , or without a great deal of thought about the ethical and moral aspects .
