All that Bruno Fernandes said in the middle of the transfer interest of Man Utd for him

Bruno Fernandes has been closely badociated with a transfer to Manchester United during the summer period.

The Red Devils have not yet made an official offer for the midfield and are currently at odds with the Sporting Lisbon on the price they want to pay for the Portuguese international.

Fernandes has remained silent on the front of the transfers in recent weeks, but an Old Trafford switch is expected to take place.

Earlier this summer, the midfielder had talked a lot about the media and had a lot to say about the intense speculation on transfers that surrounded him.

Here is all that Fernandes said this summer about his interest.

On the challenges of the Premier League

"Last year, after the end of my contract, I received representations, mainly from England and Spain, but I did not feel ready to go there." Fernandes told Sport TV.

"Not because of difficulties, but the high number of matches in England.

"My first season at Sporting was the first time I've played so many games, I thought I needed one more with this regularity.Now I feel prepared for this requirement, if ever I have to play in England or in a team in Spain. "

On his £ 90 million release clause

"No player in the world should be worth the prize, but it's a pride to know that Sporting has that confidence in me."

Leaving possibly Sporting Lisbon

"I spent two intense years, I do not know if I will spend a third year, I do not know if I will leave.Nobody knows the future.

"I'm with Sporting, there's no contact with any club, at least as far as I know, there's a lot of talk about it, there's a good chance the clubs are interested but to this day I I have always focused on Sporting.

"Now I want to rest because I have a lot to give to the national team."

To know he'll be at Sporting Lisbon next season

"Honestly, I do not know," Fernandes told the Portuguese TV channel SIC. "I like to focus on things once the season is over, when I can think calmly.

"The financial aspect still weighs a lot, we have a short career.But staying here, I will always be able to raise funds, it is not a financial issue.

"It's a matter of dreams that remain to be achieved.It's a hard choice, you never know what's coming in. My connection to the sport is very strong and it was even stronger after the events . [in Alcochete] and returning [to Sporting].

"It has been a lot to me to have been received, I am close to home, I have my family, my daughter can grow up more easily in school, but there are dreams to realize in my head and that I would like to achieve.

"It's very painful to hear people say" stay "and I do not know the future, especially after the [Portuguese] Final Cup, when I go up the stairs [to collect the Cup], many people have asked me to stay. These same people, last year, were crying with grief and it was different to see them now crying with joy. "

On the debate Liverpool vs Man City

"I like Liverpool a lot more [than Man City], Said Fernandes at the Portuguese publication Record. "It's a more direct [style of play], a more offensive football, perhaps less organized, but more intense.

"When you do not have possession of the ball, you are more intense."

"The city, without the ball, has the intensity of the eleven, and can in a moment of pressure put the [opposing] the team in a corner and ends up stealing the ball.

"In Liverpool, it's more individual players, especially in the middle of the field, who usually play against three very aggressive players and recover the ball.

"Then they have three players in front who are deadly when they have the opportunity, the difference, as seen in this last match [against Barcelona]".

What his future holds for football

"I do not know anything, I'll take the next few days to understand what's true," Fernandes told Sport Mediaset.

"We know that newspapers sometimes have to make a show to move the market and sell, I'm calm, I'm in a big club, I do not have to move, I do not try to leave.

"If the opportunity arises to go to a team that you can not refuse, I will talk to Sporting."

Fernandes added: "I had a good time in Italy, I still watch the Italian league: both Inter and the others, I am all.

"I do not know if their interest is true, but Inter are a great team, they have a story.

"They have an excellent coach who has written history with Juventus, he has done well with his national team, but the other teams will also strengthen."
