The Super Cup, between Sporting and Benfica, could be the last match of the Portuguese midfielder with the Sporting.
Italian media say on Tuesday that Manchester United are waiting for a green light from Sporting so Bruno Fernandes can travel to England, where he will have to go through the usual medical examinations to complete the transfer.
SportItalia and Sky Italia guarantee that Sporting want to keep the captain until Sunday, when they play the Super Cup against Benfica.
There are still no figures for a proposal of the English emblem, but in England there is always talk of an offer of around 70 million euros.
