“I’m thrilled that Erik ten Hag wants to sign him for Manchester United, and it excites me to think we might play together at Old Trafford after the Euros. Everyone loves him because he plays like Cristiano Ronaldo—he never gets tired. The great thing is, Erik ten Hag coached him at Ajax when he was very young,” Bruno Fernandes praised his “electric” Portugal teammate, whom the team refers to as the “NEXT RONALDO” due to his playing style.

Bruno Fernandes has praised his Portuguese international teammate Francisco Conceição, suggesting he would be an ideal fit at Manchester United.

After a strong end to last season with Manchester United, Fernandes began his preparations for the 2024 European Championship by scoring two goals against Finland on Tuesday evening.

Coming on at halftime alongside club teammate Diogo Dalot, Fernandes scored a stunning goal from outside the box to give Portugal a 3-0 lead, followed by a composed finish for their fourth and final goal.

Post-match, the United captain lauded 21-year-old right winger Francisco Conceição, who assisted both of his goals.

“Francisco had a very good game; he is an electric player, and without the ball, he works a lot,” Fernandes told Mais Futebol. “In reacting to loss, he is very quick and well-positioned. You can see that he was trained by his father, who cares a lot about these details. We want players who can provide different qualities so we can be complete as a group.”

Fernandes referred to Conceição’s father, Sérgio Conceição, the current manager of FC Porto, where Francisco has been outstanding this season, with eight goals and eight assists in 43 appearances.

Valued at just under £13 million by Transfermarkt, Conceição would be an ideal signing for United. With the potential sales of Antony and Facundo Pellistri this summer, United will need a right winger to compete with Amad Diallo.

Conceição, like Amad, is left-footed and excels at both providing assists and scoring goals. This ability would complement central players such as Rasmus Højlund and Fernandes.
