Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has missed United's pre-season tour in order to get transfers over the line.

And report that the club have already agreed a fee with Sporting for Fernandes, 24.

It is also claimed that the midfielder is ready to fly to England for his medical.

But Portuguese news outlet A Bola say that Solskjaer wants the £80m deal for Harry Maguire, 26, wrapped up first.

The Leicester centre-back's move could reportedly be sealed "at any moment" after negotiations have dragged on for weeks.

And the Red Devils boss will then move onto boosting his midfielder with transfers of Fernandes and Milinkovic-Savic.

Sporting coach Marcel Keizer has confirmed he is already preparing for his star's exit.
