Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Bruno Fernandes will make his debut against Wolves on Sunday.

Fernandes completed his protracted move from Sporting CP this week and may be United's only signing of the January transfer window if efforts to bring in a new striker prove unsuccessful.

"He's fit to play and he will be involved, definitely he will be in the squad, once he gets the training out of the way today," said the United boss.

"He has had a few hectic days now – his little daughter was three-years-old yesterday – so I don't know how much he will be involved, but he will be in the squad.

"We want players who this means a lot to and he's a winner, he hates losing. I have seen him myself but he uses that anger in a good way, to play better and help his teammates.

"He was a fantastic captain for Sporting Lisbon and he is going to come here and be a great leader. He's always smiling, but you can still hate losing."

Asked why United waited until now to sign Fernandes after being strongly linked with him in the summer, Solskjaer added: "It's about timings, priorities, and also valuation, money, and you have a club that owns him.

"You can see now in January how much he means to them (Sporting) and they wanted to keep him. We're just happy to finally get it over the line.

"We've followed him for years and he has grown in that period. He is more mature, a great leader of his team and even with all the speculation that has been around him from every club in Europe linked with him, he stayed focused and played some fantastic football for Sporting Lisbon.

"It tells us how professional he is and when you get to meet him and see him, he's a fantastic human being."
