Sporting CP star Bruno Fernandes is leaning towards the Manchester United option in January,

O Jogo says Fernandes now finds United a more attractive proposition than Tottenham.

Fernandes believes he's got a better chance of first-team action at Old Trafford due to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's lack of midfield options.

The Premier League duo were battling it out for the 24-year-old over the summer with Spurs considered the more likely to secure his signature.

Over the weekend, The Sun reported that Fernandes' agent Miguel Pinho was in London to discuss a deal with United officials - but further reports claim his £70million valuation is still a stumbling block.
