Enzo Fernandez responds to Manchester United transfer rumours

River Plate midfielder Enzo Fernandez insists he is not getting distracted amid reports linking him with a move to Manchester United in the summer window.

Fernandez, 21, has been heavily linked with a move to Europe at the end of the season and is reportedly attracting interest from United, Man City and Real Madrid.

The Argentine central midfielder netted a goal for River Plate in their 2-0 win over Fortaleza on Wednesday, with United scouts supposedly in attendance to watch his latest impressive display.

United are in the market for at least one new midfielder in the summer, and a move for Fernandez could appeal given he has a reported €20m release clause in his contract.

After the victory over Fortaleza in the Copa Libertadores the midfielder was quizzed on the transfer rumours but refused to get carried away.

“Calmly, humbly, with a low profile. I try to work day by day to keep improving and growing”, said Fernandez as quoted by TyC Sports.

“Luckily I’m finding regularity, continuity and my teammates and the coaching staff help me a lot. I handle it well. I’m grateful for the compliments, I read a lot of the messages they send and I’m happy. I will continue on this path.”
