Francisco Ramos has thanked his friend Bruno Fernandes for saying he wants him to join Manchester United - but suggests a move is very unlikely.
25-year-old midfielder Ramos played alongside the United star coming through the Portugal youth team ranks.
Asked on an Instagram Q&A to pick one player to have alongside him throughout his career, Fernandes said: "It is very difficult to choose, because I have a lot of people in the dressing room who are my friend. Wherever I played… Francisco Ramos."
Ramos, who currently plays for Portuguese top flight club Santa Clara, on loan from Guimaraes, thanked his old friend for the comments - but suggested he may not make the grade at Old Trafford.

"I'm a friend of Bruno's and we talk every day, so I already thanked him for his thoughts," Ramos told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.
"He replied that he didn't do me any favours. We can have similar characteristics, but his finishing and his final ball is more accurate."
