Manchester United have completed the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon and he might make his debut on Saturday itself.
On Thursday, United make the signing official and immediately there were questions if the attacking midfielder will be ready to take on Wolves in the Premier League this weekend.
And speaking on this same topic on Friday, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made it clear that Bruno Fernandes is fit enough to play and will be in the squad on Saturday.
He said in the press conference: “He’s fit enough to play and he’ll be involved definitely. He’ll be in the squad.
“Let’s get the training out of the way today. He’s had of course a few hectic days now and even with his little daughter’s three-year birthday yesterday, so I don’t know how much he will be involved, but he’s in the squad.
“You know, it’s about timings, priorities and also valuation, money and you have a club that owns him and you can see now in January how much he means to them and they wanted to keep him.
“So for us, we’re just happy to finally get it over the line.
“It’s a player that we’ve said months, but we’ve followed him for years, but he’s grown gradually in that period as well.
“More and more mature, more and more assured performances, he’s a great leader of his team and even with all the speculation that’s been around him.
“Probably every club in Europe has been linked with him and he’s stayed focused and played some fantastic football for Sporting. It tells you everything about how professional he is and when you get to see him and meet him here, he’s a fantastic human being.”
Man United have been lacking some serious skill in and around the midfield area this season since Paul Pogba has been out injured for most of the campaign.
And now that Bruno Fernandes is available, Solskjaer will waste no time in using him in his starting line-up.
