I want to thank Sporting for everything they have done for   me. "It is surreal to hear the nice words that have been said about me  from  players that used to play for this team. A massive thank you to Ole   and everyone at Manchester United for the trust they have shown in me   and I can’t wait to start to repay that on the pitch.”Fernandes will  need to hit the ground running, having arrived in  Manchester midway  through another inconsistent campaign for the Red  Devils, and will face  added pressure from his price tag.  Solskjaer, though, having made a classy operator his top target, is   confident that a shrewd piece of business has been carried out.“We have  been tracking Bruno for many months and everyone here has  been  tremendously impressed with all his attributes and what he will  bring  to this team," he said. "Most importantly he is a terrific human being  with a great personality and his leadership qualities are clear for all  to see. Bruno’s goals and assists stats speak for themselves, he will be a   fantastic addition to our team and he will help us push on in the second   part of the season. "The winter break is coming at a perfect time for us to integrate   Bruno into the squad and for him to get to know his team-mates.”With  another option brought into United’s midfield, attention can now turn to  the pursuit of further firepower.Marcus Rashford remains on the treatment table, with   Solskjaer  conceding after a 1-0 derby win over Manchester City that was  not  enough to book a place in the Carabao Cup final that he wants to   bolster his attacking ranks  .He said: “We need more goalscorers, more  goals, someone who wants to break their nose or toe to score.“It doesn’t always have to be nice goals. I need to challenge them  more.”It remains to be seen whether a deal can be done before the 11pm  deadline on Friday.United will, however, have Fernandes at their  disposal when they  return to action on Saturday with a Premier League  home date against  Wolves.</blockquote>
