Sporting CP midfielder Bruno Fernandes is tipped to be at Anfield on Sunday.
A Bola says Fernandes could be in stands for United's visit to Liverpool on Sunday as talks continue over the Sporting captain's transfer.
United are moving to secure the transfer of midfielder Fernandes for a fee in principle of £50million rising to £65m.
Sporting want to hold on to Fernandes until at least Friday, as they want him available for their Primeira Liga derby against biggest rivals Benfica.
But Fernandes could be at Anfield on Sunday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side attempt to slow down Liverpool's title charge and bridge the five-point gap to the Premier League's top four.
