Bernardo put together his best season by way of output last outing, registering eight goals and 4 assists within the Premier League alone. He has been a mainstay of Guardiola’s midfield over the past five campaigns, racking up greater than 250 appearances and winning nine domestic trophies.
His mesmerising feet, game intelligence and incredible work rate make him an ideal fit for Guardiola’s system which, in turn, would make him almost not possible to switch within the transfer market. As such, United could deal their cross-city rivals a devastating blow by landing De Jong and setting the wheels in motion for Barca’s Bernardo swoop.
