Bruno Fernandes sets main Manchester United target after Erik ten Hag arrival

Bruno Fernandes has vowed that Manchester United will be doing everything in their power to kick-off life under Erik ten Hag by ending their trophy hoodoo. It has been five years since the Old Trafford giants last got their hands on any silverware and nine seasons have passed since their last Premier League title.

That means Fernandes - who signed for United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020 - has yet to win a trophy on these shores. The 27-year-old is set to return to pre-season training at Carrington next week before the club's summer tour to Thailand, Australia and Norway.

It will be the Portugal star's first introduction to Ten Hag and the newly-appointed manager has already got down to business on the training ground and in the transfer market. As part of a summer rebuild, agreements in principle to sign Tyrell Malacia and Barcelona playmaker Frenkie de Jong are in place.
