Excitement is high! One of the Premier League's promising talents wants to join Manchester United this summer.
Teamtalk, a well-known football media outlet, reports that Matheus Fernandes, a key midfielder for West Ham United, prefers to transfer to the Red Devils, Manchester United, rather than the Gunners, Arsenal, this summer.
Fernandes, 21, moved from Southampton to West Ham last summer for £40 million and has impressed individually despite West Ham struggling at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Fernandes' determination in tackling, precise passing, and composure on the ball have attracted attention from many top European clubs, especially Manchester United and Arsenal. Latest reports say Manchester United has already contacted the player's agents.
Fernandes himself wants to join Manchester United more than Arsenal because he hopes to work with fellow Portuguese international Bruno Fernandes, whom he admires personally, and also with Diogo Dalot, another Portuguese player.
Additionally, Fernandes appreciates Manchester United's ambition under Michael Carrick, who successfully secured a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League, making the prospect of joining the Red Devils even more appealing.
Reports further state that West Ham has valued Fernandes at at least £80 million, a figure that would drop if the club were relegated.
