We can understand why Pep Guardiola didn’t sign the Portuguese star. City’s squad is teeming with creative and attacking talent including David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, and Raheem Sterling. Rather ironically, adding Fernandes may have been one wafer-thin mint too far.
To some extent, even Spurs can be excused from not intently pursuing the move. Harry Kane, Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, and Erik Lamela all martial Mauricio Pochettino’s forward line, and they all fit firmly into the ‘quality’ category. Together they combined to score 56 of Tottenham’s 67 Premier League goals last season.
Conversely, United’s failure to sign an attacking midfielder was a heinous act of negligence on the part of those responsible. Heavy reliance on Jesse Lingard, who’s good for just about nothing other than running around, having contributed a total of 12 assists in 114 top-flight appearances.
Forget about the club’s crippling obsession with promoting their own – Lingard’s output is objectively abysmal. Big question marks.
We’re yet to officially find out why any of the above didn’t recruit the 24-year-old but talkSPORT’s Andy Brassell thinks he has the answer, and it’s a fairly simple one…
