“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 player, Francisco Conceição, suggesting that the young winger would be a great addition to Manchester United.
Fernandes, who finished last season with impressive performances for Manchester United, kicked off his preparations for the 2024 European Championship in strong form, scoring twice in a match against Finland on Tuesday evening.
Coming on in the second half with his club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made a significant impact, scoring a stunning long-range goal to extend Portugal’s lead to 3-0, and later adding another goal with a calm finish.
After the match, the Manchester United captain praised the 21-year-old Francisco Conceição, who assisted both of his goals. “Francisco had an outstanding game; his dynamic play and tireless effort off the ball were remarkable,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions and excellent positioning show the quality training he receives from his father. We need players with diverse skills to strengthen our team.”
Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is notable as he is the manager of FC Porto, where Francisco has been excelling, recording 43 appearances, eight goals, and eight assists this season.
With a market value close to £13 million according to Transfermarkt, Conceição is seen as a promising candidate for Manchester United. With potential departures of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, adding a talented right winger to compete with Amad Diallo is crucial. Conceição’s left-footed skills complement Amad’s abilities, especially in creating assists and scoring goals, which would benefit players like Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who mainly play in central positions.
