Perhaps the best signing of January Manchester United ever made an agreement Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford. Signed from Sporting CP for more than £ 67.7 million Including accessories, the fifth most expensive January job of all time.
Fernandes’ impact on the club was unattainable. He is a united captain and has Played 268 times for the club. At that time he scored 88 goals and registered 77 assists, which is an extraordinary record.
Perhaps the latest United’s reported January goal can have the same influence as their Portuguese magnifico.
Man utd looking for an attacker
The player here is Juventus ahead Dusan Vlahovic. According to the Bailey Graeme reportThe Red Devils are thought to have inquired about his current ‘situation in Juventus’ and could continue the late move.
They will face the competition of some large Premier League rivals. Northern London’s Arsenal and four Aston Villa candidates also asked Juve about the situation of the attacker. Given that it seems unlikely to sign a new contract, there is a chance that they can bring it.
Why would Vlahovic be a good signature
Despite the lack of opportunities under the manager of Juventus Thiago Motta, Vlahoivc was still impressive during the 2024/25 campaign. He has played 28 games So far, this term is and in that time has 13 goals and two assists.
Perhaps the most significant contribution to the attacker in this campaign came against Manchester City in the Champions League. He scored one goal in Juve’s 2-0 victory over the Premier League champion. It is a certain strike that will echo with the Red Devils fans.
Should United receive an agreement for the Serbian “monster” – as Welcomed by analyst Ben Mattinson – Over the line could be the perfect alternative signing of Bayern Munich mathys tel striker. The Frenchman seems unlikely to move to Old Trafford, According to Jamie Jackson.
Now there is no doubt that Vlahovic and Tel are slightly different players. The Juve man is pointing forward, while the tel is versatile and can be played in advance or on the lap.
However, United needs goals per minute, so there is certainly not much problem for red devils. In fact, to get the idea of how well alternative Tel Vlahovic you would be good to be compared to statistically on FBREF.
Using data from the last two domestic season of top -notch flights in Italy and Germany, Vlahovic’s natural attacker instinct bright, as shows his expected goals of 0.65xG compared to only 0.31xG for tel.
Furthermore, the Serbian international is someone who can bring teammates into the game and is actually an average of 0.93 key passages in 90 minutes in the last two seasons. It’s just more than a TEL, which plays 0.9 key passages per game.

Signing the Blaise could be the perfect alternative move in tel. The Frenchman now seems unattainable for United, but the chance to sign Vlahovic, a “deadly” striker As Mattinson described himMaybe too good to be true.
This could be the signing of the United dreams, and it may be the best addition to January from Fernandes five years ago.
