I tried to sign him – Tuchel speak on this Man Utd star

Ahead of Man Utd vs Chelsea faceoff on Sunday in the Premier League, the Blues manager, Thomas Tuchel has hailed Red Devils player, Bruno Fernandes.

The German manager in his statement ahead of the match revealed he once signed  Fernandes when he was in charge at Paris Saint Germain PSG.

He disclosed his attention was Fernandes because of ex-PSG sporting director, Antero Henrique and they tried to make the transfer happen but they were unlucky.

”It was when we just arrived. My first sporting director in Paris knew [Fernandes] very well. We watched more and more games about him. We fought hard to have a connection to him and to bring him to our team, ” Tuchel revealed.

The Blues manager revealed he hopes to see Fernandes in action on Sunday evening against his team.

Fernandes since joining Man Utd has become a instrumental player at Old Trafford.

In fact he is part of the reason why Man Utd has been able to move to the second spot on the Premier League table.

He joined the Red Devils in the January transfer window in 2020 and already has 34 goals to his name in 60 games.

He is most likely to get a nod to start for the Red Devils  today.
