BREAKING NEWS: “I am delighted that Erik ten Hag wants to sign him for Manchester United, and it makes me glad to think that I may play with him at Old Trafford after the Euros. Everyone adores him because he plays like Cristiano Ronaldo. He never becomes fatigued. The good news is that Erik Ten Hag previously coached him at Ajax when he was very young.”-Bruno Fernandes compliments his “energetic” Portugal colleagues, who the team refers to as the “NEXT RONALDO” owing to their style of play.

Bruno Fernandes has recently commended his fellow Portuguese and national team colleague, Francisco Conceição, suggesting the young winger would be a valuable addition to Manchester United.

Fernandes, who wrapped up the last season with a series of impressive performances for Manchester United, kicked off his preparations for the upcoming 2024 European Championship with style. He scored twice in a spirited match against Finland on Tuesday evening.

After being substituted in during the second half alongside his club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes made a significant impact. He delivered a stunning long-range goal to push Portugal’s lead to 3-0, and later coolly scored another.

Following the match, the influential United captain took a moment to praise the 21-year-old right winger, Francisco Conceição, who played a crucial role in assisting both of Fernandes’ goals.

“Francisco had an outstanding game; his dynamic style and tireless work rate off the ball were remarkable,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “His quick reactions to turnovers and excellent positioning highlight the high-quality training he has received from his father. We need players who bring a variety of skills to the team, strengthening our overall performance.”

Fernandes’ mention of Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, is significant, as he is the current manager at FC Porto, where Francisco has been excelling.

The young winger has enjoyed a stellar season with Porto, making 43 appearances, scoring eight goals, and providing eight assists.

With a market value just under £13 million according to Transfermarkt, Conceição stands out as a promising candidate for United. Given the potential exits of Antony and Facundo Pellistri in the upcoming transfer window, finding a skilled right winger to compete with Amad Diallo is crucial for the club.

Conceição’s left-footed ability aligns well with Amad’s strengths, particularly in delivering assists and scoring, which would complement the central roles of Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes within the team’s tactical setup.
