Man Utd's defeat to Burnley might spur club on to complete Fernandes deal - Scholes

Manchester United's loss to Burnley might do Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a "favour in the transfer market", according to Paul Scholes, who is hoping the club will now shell out a "few extra million" on Sporting CP star Bruno Fernandes.

United suffered their eighth Premier League defeat of the season on Wednesday when Burnley secured a stunning 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

With the likes of Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay all missing through injury, the Red Devils lacked creativity in midfield and a clinical edge in the final third against a well-organised Clarets side.
