Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has identified the £62million midfielder as a key transfer target, while he also wants Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to complete his midfield.
A fee has ben agreed with the Portuguese club for Fernandes, according to Correiro Dello Sport.
Fernandes impressed for Sporting Lisbon in their 2-2 draw with Liverpool, scoring the first from range before setting up the second.
He came to attention after a stunning season in Portugal, hitting 32 goals and registering 18 assists for his club and playing for his country in the Nations League.
Leicester defender Harry Maguire, however, reportedly remains the club's main target, although Manchester United have yet to meet the Foxes' £80m valuation.
Chief executive Ed Woodward did not join his club's pre-season tour in order to continue working on transfers.
