Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes rates Arsenal's move for Fabio Vieira

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes is hoping fellow Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira will enjoy success at new club Arsenal.

The Gunners completed their first major transfer of the summer last week as they confirmed the arrival of Vieira from Porto in deal worth £34million.

The signing follows deals for goalkeeper Matt Turner and winger Marquinhos, while more recruits are expected to come through the doors at the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Vieira, who is predominantly an attacking midfielder like Fernandes, registered six goals and 14 assists last season.

Fernandes wants his compatriot to shine for the Gunners, but not when he comes up against the Red Devils.

‘I welcome all Portuguese players who go abroad, I hope he can shine to the fullest, except against me,’ Fernandes told reporters in Portugal.

‘Fábio has a lot of quality and has been demonstrating that, whether in the FC Porto is in the Under-21s, he has had good numbers and good performances.

‘I hope he succeeds like all the Portuguese out there. We have to start valuing what is ours and I hope that Fábio manages to be as good as possible, despite of waiting to stay ahead.’

The north London club are set to unveil Gabriel Jesus as their brand new striker signing imminently.

On Thursday, the Brazil international was filmed walking around the Emirates Stadium ahead of his £45m move from Manchester City.
