Manchester United confirms its intention to keep Bruno Fernandes amid concerns he could follow a similar path as Mohamed Salah. The club is aware that Salah's lucrative two-year deal with Liverpool has backfired, leading to a summer exit without a transfer fee.
As Fernandes approaches his 32nd birthday, reports of internal divisions at Old Trafford regarding a potential sale emerge. However, The Daily Express reveals that United has clearly communicated to Fernandes their desire to retain him beyond the summer. The message is unambiguous: he is not for sale.
Fernandes’ contract includes a £57 million release clause that non-Premier League clubs can activate, raising concerns for United. European giants PSG and Bayern Munich are circling, and Saudi Arabian clubs remain interested, having previously offered £100 million and massive wages.
Despite the speculation, Fernandes appears content with United's ongoing project, especially with Champions League football on the horizon. His performance has been pivotal in United's revival under Michael Carrick, positioning them for a return to the Champions League next season. Qualification could influence Fernandes' decision to stay at Manchester United, where he aims to compete with the world's best.
