🚨“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 and national team member, Francisco Conceição, suggesting that the young winger would be a valuable addition to Manchester United.
Fernandes, who ended last season on a high note with outstanding performances for Manchester United, kicked off his preparations for the 2024 European Championship impressively, scoring twice in a lively match against Finland on Tuesday evening.
Coming on in the second half with club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made a significant impact. He fired a spectacular long-range shot to make it 3-0 for Portugal and later added another goal with a composed finish.
After the game, the United captain praised the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who assisted both of Fernandes’ goals.
“Francisco was outstanding; his dynamic play and tireless effort off the ball were remarkable,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions to turnovers and excellent positioning are clear indicators of the rigorous training he has received from his father. We need players who bring a variety of skills to strengthen our team as a whole.”
Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is notable since he is the manager at FC Porto, where Francisco has had an impressive season with 43 appearances, eight goals, and eight assists.
Valued at just under £13 million according to Transfermarkt, Conceição is a promising talent for United. With potential exits of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, adding a skilled right winger to compete with Amad Diallo is crucial for the club. Conceição’s left-footed abilities complement Amad’s strengths, especially in creating assists and scoring, which would enhance the roles of Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes, who primarily operate in central positions within the team’s tactics.
