The French forward has attracted attention across Europe due to his prolific goal-scoring form.

The potential transfer of Alvaro Fernandez from Manchester United to Benfica is seen by The Express as a strategic move to secure funds for a prolific striker. The spotlight is on Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy, who has garnered interest across Europe, and Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, might be considering a swoop for the free-scoring forward.

Reports suggest that the permanent transfer of left-back Alvaro Fernandez to Benfica is imminent, with Manchester United eyeing the generated funds to bolster their striking options before the January transfer deadline. With a need for more goals in the squad, the departure of Fernandez could pave the way for a potential move for Guirassy, who has impressed with his goal-scoring prowess this season. The strategic reshuffle aims to address the team’s goal-scoring concerns and inject fresh attacking firepower into the squad.
