Manchester United are ready to take a good look at Roger Fernandes at the Under-21 Euros as the Braga teenager is a target for Ruben Amorim.

According to United Focus, Roger Fernandes is a player in focus for Manchester United during the Under-21 Euros. The Braga teenager is expected to feature prominently for the Portuguese U-21 side, as the Red Devils are expected to keep close tabs on his performances in the tournament.

Manchester United did make a fast start in the transfer market with the arrival of Matheus Cunha, but things have since slowed down a bit. The Red Devils have been angling moves for players to revamp their front line, as Bryan Mbeumo is seen as the next important target for their attacking setup.

There’s competition for the Cameroonian, although Manchester United are unperturbed by the prospect of Tottenham’s pursuit of Mbeumo. Interestingly, they have retained an admiration for Roger Fernandes, the versatile wideman playing for Portuguese side Braga.

Manchester United have been interested in Fernandes since losing out on Geovany Quenda to Chelsea. The Red Devils are not focused on watching the 19-year-old Portuguese wonderkid at the Under-21 Euros in Slovakia, where the Braga teenager is expected to play a prominent role for the team.

Manchester United will face competition for Fernandes from fellow Premier League rivals, although their connections in Portugal as well as the presence of Ruben Amorim might prove crucial. There will be questions about where Fernandes fits into this squad, as he could be a potential option on the right wing or play as a wing-back, which in the context of Amorim’s system are two different positions.

Manchester United keen on Roger Fernandes

Fernandes has predominantly played in a right-wing role as well as a wing-back for Braga in the most recent campaign. Amorim likes the idea of a wingback, as he used a left-footed Quenda in that role, while Fernandes is of a similar ilk and a year older than the Sporting CP star.

The likelihood is for Manchester United to conclude the signing of Mbeumo, and focus on talents like the 19-year-old Portuguese wonderkid Fernandes to add him as an option for the right wing-back role. It remains to be seen how the observers view this particular target, while Braga are yet to name their price for the wide star.
