BRUNO FERNANDES is “annoyed” at the conduct of both Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United as talks have stalled over his potential move to Old Trafford, according to reports.
SunSport yesterday revealed that the move has broken down over both sides being unwilling to budge on their respective valuations of the player.
The Red Devils have offered £42.5million upfront plus £8.5million in add-ons.
But Sporting continue to insist on receiving the 25-year-old’s £68million release clause in full.
And according to the Times, the player himself is fuming at the hold up and wants to complete his move to United as soon as possible.
Fernandes expected last Friday’s match against Benfica to be his last for Sporting, hoping that his move would be sealed over the weekend.
Negotiations subsequently stalled, however, and he was back in the side for Tuesday night’s trip to Braga.
And the Portuguese international stormed off at the final whistle of the 2-1 defeat, snubbing supporters and even shoving a camera as he made his way off the pitch.
It has been claimed in the local media in Portugal that Sporting are assigning the blame totally at the hands of United.
Transfers at Old Trafford have to be ratified by co-chairman Joel Glazer.

And the 49-year-old believes that Fernandes is not worth what Sporting are demanding for him.
The United chief also has issues with the proposed structure of the deal.
The Red Devils have been chasing Fernandes for months as they seek to add creativity and goals to their midfield – particularly in the continued absence of Paul Pogba.
