In a twist of fate, Bruno Fernandes nearly joined Tottenham six months before his transfer to Manchester United in January 2020. The deal was nearly finalized, with Spurs impressing him with their meticulous attention to detail in facilities. However, Sporting's board opted to wait for a higher offer that never materialized, leading them to sell Raphinha instead. Ultimately, Fernandes signed with Manchester United, facing a challenging start but quickly establishing himself as a key player in the squad's success.
They were absolutely next level when it comes to detail, even the rooms at the training ground were decorated just like the players' bedrooms at home.
Fernandes was so convinced that he would be heading to north London that he told the Sporting president, Frederico Varandas, to go away when explaining the situation.
With a deal almost done, Sporting’s board changed their mind at the last minute and opted to sell Raphinha to Rennes instead.
After a difficult start at Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes quickly adapted and began making significant contributions to the team’s performance.
