​Man Utd scouts passed on signing Bruno Fernandes for one reason

Manchester United decided against signing Bruno Fernandes after indifferent scouting reports.

The Red Devils were linked with a move for the Portuguese central midfielder.

And United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants players who are calm and composed on the ball.
