Manchester United are considering re-signing Alvaro Fernandez from Benfica after sending scouts to watch him play during Benfica's Champions League clash with Bologna. Although he has a £42 million release clause, Man United could potentially sign him for a reduced fee of £16.5 million due to a buy-back clause included when they sold him to Benfica.

Manchester United could exercise the buy-back clause to bring back Alvaro Fernandez to Old Trafford. There is also rival transfer interest in the player.

Manchester United have a buyback clause inserted into Alvaro Fernandez's contract. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to exercise the option and bring him back to the club. The club could use another left-back due to injury problems with current players.
