Not Mbeumo: Manchester United Envisioning ‘Explosive’ Winger With ‘Lethal Acceleration’ According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Manchester United is demonstrating a strong interest in acquiring the promising
wing-back Roger Fernandes. The ‘excellent’ 19-year-old is reportedly being closely monitored by the Red Devils this summer, and they have dispatched representatives to investigate him at the U21 Euros in Slovakia. United is of the opinion that Fernandes would be an ideal candidate for Ruben Amorim’s high-intensity system.
He could be viewed as a potential replacement for Geovany Quenda, who, earlier this year, declined an offer to join Old Trafford for Chelsea. Nevertheless, United may postpone their pursuit of Fernandes until the foreseeable future, as a new wing-back is not necessarily a priority this summer.
Manchester United is considering Roger Fernandes Bailey has disclosed to United in Focus that there is a likelihood that Amad will serve as a right wing-back for United in the forthcoming season. This development complicates their prospective pursuit of Fernandes this summer. “We are aware that United has a strong admiration for
Fernandez is of the opinion that he would be an excellent addition to the Ruben Amorim system. Consequently, United has been monitoring him in Slovakia.” United are intently monitoring Fernandes’ performance for Portugal U21 in the European Championship; however, there are uncertainties regarding the possibility of acquiring a wing-back this summer. “
United has altered their strategy, as their targets suggest that Amad will be deployed as a right wing-back from this point forward. Consequently, I do not believe that Fernandes should be prioritized. The fact that he can play in a number of positions also appeals, and United are still interested in him,
while they are also exploring their options. In Portugal, Fernandes has had an exceptional campaign, scoring five goals and supplying seven assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. He was admitted to Braga’s first-team squad in 2023. The 19-year-old talent, who possesses ‘lethal acceleration’,
has been employed in a variety of positions, such as on the right-hand side of Braga’s midfield and on either of the flanks. Man United is currently concentrating on the acquisition of reinforcements in the front line during the summer window. They have already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves as their inaugural signing.
The Red Devils are also in the process of finalizing a deal to acquire Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. They are also interested in acquiring a striker, and Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres is a player to keep an eye on. Roger Fernandes’ Braga Stats (2024/25 Primeira Liga) 28 games 3 goals 3 assists 3.
