Man Utd are accelerating towards a deal to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have already sealed their first signing of the summer transfer window with Atalanta midfielder Ederson set to move to Old Trafford later this summer.<\/p>\n
Man Utd<\/a> are looking to sign two or three midfielders before the transfer window shuts, while they are also prioritising a left-back and a left-winger.<\/p>\n Their next target seems to be Fernandes with the Portugal international impressing for West Ham this season, despite the Hammers being relegated to the Championship.<\/p>\n Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Man Utd are in \u201cdirect contact\u201d with Fernandes\u2019 camp as they attempt to get a deal over the line.<\/p>\n Romano said on his YouTube channel: \u201cThe contacts are going to continue in the next hours and days for Mateus Fernandes. Man Utd are there.<\/p>\n READ: Man Utd told cut-price fee for Germany star as intermediaries work on \u2018very realistic\u2019 transfer<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMan Utd want to get the player, and are in direct contact with the player\u2019s camp. Fernandes is very keen on a move to Manchester United.<\/p>\n \u201cThe discussions on the player side are going well, both with the player and his camp.<\/p>\n \u201cNow it depends on the club-to-club discussions with West Ham.
