This is a saga that has now dragged on for three transfer windows, with United initially refusing to meet Sporting's valuation of the player.

Fernandes joined Sporting from Sampdoria for £7.2 million in 2017 and has since scored 64 goals in 137 matches in all competitions, winning the Portuguese Cup with Sporting last season.
