“I am happy that Erik ten Hag wants to sign him at Manchester United and it makeds me happy knowing that I might play with him at Old Trafford afte the EUROS. Everybody loves him because he plays like Cristiano Ronaldo. He never gets tired The good thing is that Erik Ten Hag coach him before at Ajax when he was still very young”-Bruno Fernandes praises his “electric” Portugal teammates who the team refers to as the “NEXT RONALDO” due to his style of play.

Bruno Fernandes has recently praised his fellow Portuguese national team member, Francisco Conceição, suggesting that the young winger would be a valuable addition to Manchester United’s squad.

Fernandes, who ended last season with impressive performances for Manchester United, began his preparations for the 2024 European Championship by scoring twice in an energetic match against Finland on Tuesday evening.

Entering the game in the second half alongside his club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made a significant impact. He launched a stunning long-range shot to extend Portugal’s lead to 3-0 and later scored again with a composed finish.

Following the match, the influential United captain took the opportunity to commend the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who assisted both of Fernandes’ goals.

“Francisco had an outstanding game; his dynamic style and relentless effort off the ball were truly impressive,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions to turnovers and excellent positioning are a testament to the rigorous training provided by his father. We need players who bring diverse skills to enhance our team’s overall strength.”

Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is significant as he is currently the manager of FC Porto, where Francisco has been excelling this season, with 43 appearances, eight goals, and eight assists.

With a market value close to £13 million according to Transfermarkt, Conceição is a promising candidate for Manchester United. With the potential departures of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, securing a skilled right winger to compete with Amad Diallo is crucial for the club. Notably, Conceição’s left-footed abilities complement Amad’s skills, especially in providing assists and scoring, which would align well with players like Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who mainly play centrally in the team’s formation.
