Manchester United is set to embark on a new round of squad rebuilding, with reports suggesting that apart from a few designated players, the rest of the squad could be up for sale this summer. Surprisingly, club captain Bruno Fernandes, despite being the top scorer and assist leader this season, is not among those listed. Facing rumors of not being indispensable, Fernandes openly admits that he may not stay at Manchester United next season.
Since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's post-Ferguson era has seen its fair share of transfer pitfalls, with Bruno Fernandes being one of the few success stories amidst numerous signings. Thanks to his outstanding performances, Fernandes was appointed team captain this year, contributing 15 goals and 11 assists, making him the top scorer and assist leader. However, his stellar performances haven't guaranteed his place, as per reports from the British media, only three or four players, such as Højlund, Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and goalkeeper Andre Onana, are deemed untouchable, with Fernandes not among them.
This undoubtedly comes as a blow to Fernandes, who expressed on a Portuguese TV show, "Clearly, it doesn't just depend on me, does it? A player needs to want to stay, but at the same time, the club needs to want him to stay. At the moment, I think it's like that. I haven't thought much about the future, at least because this season hasn't reached the level I hoped for, neither individually nor collectively."
Fernandes emphasizes that he won't dwell too much on the future at the moment, as Manchester United still has important matches to play this season, such as the FA Cup final, and there's the European Championship in the summer. He leans towards making plans after the Euros, but admits that the future is uncertain, whether he will stay at Manchester United next season remains unknown. |
