Manchester United attacker Bruno Fernandes is reportedly 'in regular contact' with Leeds United's Raphinha, who is believed to be a transfer target for the 20-time English champions.
Raphinha excelled during his first season in English football, scoring six times and providing nine assists in 30 Premier League appearances for the Whites.
Man United are thought to be admirers of the 24-year-old, and according to The Sun, Fernandes is 'in regular contract' with his former teammate.
"I miss Raphinha. He is a player with whom I had a different chemistry from the others, he understood me at a glance," Fernandes previously said when questioned on Raphinha, with the two players spending time together at Sporting Lisbon.
Fernandes is believed to have played an important role in Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford over the summer, with the playmaker said to have contacted his fellow Portuguese to convince him to re-sign for the club.
Raphinha has scored three times in seven Premier League appearances for Marcelo Bielsa's side this term.
