Bruno Fernandes has hit back at reports that he’s set to walk out on Sporting Lisbon in the next 48 hours.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer with both Manchester United and Tottenham interested in the midfielder.

Reports on Friday claimed Fernandes had agreed to make a farewell appearance for Sporting in the Super Cup against Benfica on Sunday before completing a move to England.

Those reports have appeared to irk Sporting fans and one supporter raised his issues with Fernandes in the comments of the midfielder’s latest Instagram post.

However, Fernandes hit back at the supporter and appeared to suggest that the reports about his future and an imminent move to England are false.

After being accused of planning a departure from the club and using interest from elsewhere to get an improved deal, Fernandes wrote: ‘Two mistakes in the same text. I’m glad everything the newspapers write is true isn’t it friend?’

Both United and Spurs are interested in signing Fernandes but a move is not thought to be as close as is being reported in Portugal.

However, time is running out for either club to force through a deal with the English transfer window set to close on Thursday at 6pm.

The Portuguese window is open until September 2nd, meaning Fernandes can move to another European club outside the Premier League should United or Spurs fail to sign him.
