CSKA Sofia sporting director Cristiano Giaretta is thrilled to see Bruno Fernandes make the move to Manchester United.

Giaretta previously held directorial roles at Udinese and Ascoli and played a key role in bringing Fernandes to Italy during his time at Novara.

"It all started with a trip to Boavista to see this talented player who convinced me, and we took him to Italy," he told Tutto Mercato Web Radio.

“He was very weak from the physical point of view but his main feature is the head. After a month in Novara he was already able to hold an interview in Italian and this makes it clear the dedication he had to get to the top with great determination.

"It's a pride to see him at Manchester United."
