Manchester United has spent nearly 128 million pounds to acquire two strikers Cunya and Mbumo this summer, but they still have no intention of stopping. According to the latest news from the Spanish local media Daily Sports, Manchester United now plans to sign Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez for 61 million pounds to train them as Bruno Fernandez's successor.

According to the transfer authoritative reporter Fabrizio Romano, a few days ago, citing internal news from Manchester United, pointing out that Manchester United will not only buy strikers and goalkeepers, but also consider signing new midfielders. It is now rumored that Manchester United's target is Fermin Lopez, the 22-year-old Spanish international, who belongs to Barcelona in the past two seasons, has scored 19 goals in 88 games in total, and has helped the Spanish team win last year's Olympic men's football gold medal and European Cup championship. It has been reported that Saudi giants have proposed to acquire the fierce player, and Manchester United now also wants to join the transfer competition.

It is reported that the reason why Manchester United likes Felming Lopez is not only because of his excellent skills, but also because Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandez is poached by Riyadh victory again, and he is also likely to leave the team. It is rumored that this Saudi team sent Cristiano Ronaldo as a lobbyist and persuaded Bruno Fernandez to join in to play the country. Riyadh won the victory and signed another Portuguese international, Joao Felix.

Bruno Fernandez has rejected Riyadh's victory once last year, but with Manchester United signing Cunnia and Mbumo, his importance has decreased. This time, Bruno Fernandez may change his mind to accept the "fat deal" temptation of Riyadh's victory. Manchester United needs to start looking for a successor, hoping to acquire Fermin Lopez. However, as Barcelona's main player, it is not easy for Manchester United to sign him.
