# Former United man Parker urges Fernandes to join Liverpool

Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes is a player who could be set for a big move in the January transfer window.

The Portugal international has heavily been linked with a move to Manchester United and was one of the club’s top targets during the summer.

However, former United man Paul Parker feels the playmaker should avoid the Red Devils and join Liverpool or Tottenham instead.

As quoted on the [Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1220962/man-utd-transfer-news-bruno-fernandes-liverpool), Parker said:

> Everyone keeps talking about the Sporting Lisbon lad, Fernandes.

> Does he want to go to Manchester United? Because trying to paint on that canvas is going to be really hard. Seriously hard.

> To go Liverpool would be easier. To go to Spurs may be easier. To go to Manchester City would be easier.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

It is understood that Sporting are expecting around £60m for Fernandes, who netted 32 times from midfield last season.

He is clearly a talented player and has also spoken about his desire to play in the Premier League.

The Reds should definitely keep a close eye on his situation because he is a versatile player, who can play on either flank or as a false 9. Beating United to his signature would be so sweet.
