Manchester United must sign one more player in the January transfer window after their recent announcement of an agreement with Sporting Lisbon for Portuguese midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, according to Gary Neville.
Neville believes two deals are needed in this window because the club also needs a striker after Marcus Rashford’s recent injury.
According to him, the Bruno Fernandes deal is positive but he is not expecting too much from him in his first few months since he has to settle in first.
He added that the CM would surely need some time to prove his quality at his new club and the fans should be willing to support him to do just that.
His words, “Man United’s midfield has needed strengthening for some time,”
“They’ve had massive issues, not just in terms of recruiting players.
“Also with injuries to key players as well, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay have obviously both been missing so it’s essential that they had to do a deal in that area of the pitch.
“I thought they would do at least two deals in this window, we’ll see what happens in the next 48 hours. I think a striker is required now after what has happened with Marcus Rashford.”
“It’s a positive,”
“I’ve not got huge expectations of Bruno Fernandes in terms of this next few months.
“I think for him to come to England, to settle in, he’ll need some time, but they’ve got a good quality player into the building.
“I think ultimately we shouldn’t be sat here as either United fans or pundits or commentators thinking he’s going to be amazing straight away. I think obviously it’s very difficult to hit the ground running in a January transfer.”
