🚨“Sometimes I dream of where I am playing with the two of them. I really hope he comes to Manchester United. 🔴Even Bernado silver has been dragging him with me for him to join Man City but I hope manchester united acts fast because he is a world class midfielder”- Bruno Fernandes praises “electric” Portugal teammate who would be perfect at Manchester United to strengthen a league winning squad.
Bruno Fernandes has recently commended his fellow Portuguese national teammate, Francisco Conceição, expressing that the young player would be a valuable asset for Manchester United.
After ending the previous season with outstanding performances for Manchester United, Fernandes kicked off his preparations for the 2024 European Championship in impressive fashion, scoring twice in a lively match against Finland on Tuesday.
Coming off the bench in the second half alongside club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made an immediate impact with a brilliant long-range shot, pushing Portugal’s lead to 3-0, before securing another goal later in the match.
Post-game, the United captain praised the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who had been instrumental in assisting both of Fernandes’ goals.
“Francisco had a fantastic game; his energetic play and tireless effort off the ball were exceptional,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick response to turnovers and excellent positioning reflect the high-quality training from his father. We need players who can bring varied skills to our team, strengthening us collectively.”
Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is noteworthy since he is the current manager at FC Porto, where Francisco has had an impressive season with 43 appearances, eight goals, and eight assists.
Valued at nearly £13 million by Transfermarkt, Conceição is seen as a promising candidate for Manchester United. With possible departures of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, acquiring a skilled right winger to compete with Amad Diallo becomes crucial for the club. Conceição’s left-footed ability complements Amad’s strengths, especially in assisting and scoring, which aligns well with the roles of Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who mainly operate centrally in the team’s tactics.
