The report adds that United view Fernandes ‘as the perfect foil’ for their captain Bruno Fernandes and a move for the West Ham midfielder will be made ‘in the coming weeks’.
Earlier this month, reports claimed that Bruno Fernandes had also recommended the signing of his compatriot to United’s hierarchy.
West Ham are understood to be seeking an £80m fee for Fernandes, who still has four years left on his contract.
United, meanwhile, have also held talks with Atalanta over a deal for their Brazilian midfielder Ederson.
