“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 recently praised his fellow Portuguese national team player, Francisco Conceição, indicating that the young winger would be a valuable addition to Manchester United.
Fernandes, who ended the last season with standout performances for Manchester United, began his preparation for the upcoming 2024 European Championship in impressive fashion, scoring twice in a dynamic match against Finland on Tuesday night.
Coming off the bench in the second half with his club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made an immediate impact by scoring a stunning long-range goal to make it 3-0 for Portugal, and later adding another goal with a composed finish.
After the match, the influential United captain took time to commend the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who was crucial in assisting both of Fernandes’ goals.
“Francisco had an outstanding game; his dynamic play and tireless work ethic off the ball were remarkable,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions and excellent positioning highlight the rigorous training he’s received from his father. We need players who bring diverse skills to our team, strengthening us collectively.”
Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is noteworthy as he is currently the manager at FC Porto, where Francisco has been excelling this season, with 43 appearances, eight goals, and eight assists.
Valued at just under £13 million by Transfermarkt, Conceição is a promising prospect for United. With the potential exits of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, acquiring a talented right winger to compete with Amad Diallo becomes crucial. Conceição’s left-footed skills match well with Amad’s, particularly in providing assists and scoring goals, which would complement players like Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who primarily play centrally in the team’s formation.
