Bruno Fernandes assessed the current situation of FC Porto, Sporting and Benfica, highlighting several talents with the capacity to compete in the Premier League or in the Italian and Spanish championships. In an interview with Canal 11, the Manchester United midfielder praised FC Porto’s most recent signings, starting with the coach.
«Sporting is playing attractive football, but FC Porto is stronger. The coach and players hired were ideal. Farioli’s dynamics are very aggressive. (…) As for Sporting, Rui Borges has insisted on his idea and has been successful, with very interesting dynamics. Benfica had a strong market, but the pieces are not falling into place. There is no doubt that they have a strong squad.”
“Mourinho? It surprised me. The manager likes these challenges, he wants to create a great story at Benfica, after having achieved it at FC Porto.”
«There are very interesting players in the Portuguese League. Due to his intelligence, Aursnes would be adapted to English football. Hjulmand is an accomplished player, which he adds, he is aggressive and is at Premier League level. I would also see Hjulmand in the Italian championship, or Rodrigo Mora in Spain. The dynamics of the club or the championship influence the player you can be.”
