Bruno Fernandes: United star’s latest comments will delight fans
Bruno Fernandes: United star’s latest comments will delight fans Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes will enter the final year of his contract this summer and is yet to sign a new deal. The Portuguese maestro was heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford last summer amid interest from Saudi Arabia. United were coming off a disappointing campaign and had offloaded several players who were deemed surplus to requirements.
Marcus Rashford , Antony, Jadon Sancho and Rasmus Hojlund were some of the names who were shown the door, and Fernandes’ future was also subject to speculation. There was tremendous interest from the Middle East, and the United skipper later revealed that he turned down lucrative deals in favour of an Old Trafford stay. The Red Devils will be glad that he did, because their Portuguese Magnifico has been outstanding this season.
Old Trafford legend Fernandes has consistently been one of the best players in the Premier League since arriving at the Theatre of Dreams in January 2020. He has won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award a record-equalling four times so far, yet has managed to elevate his game to a higher level this season. While the Portuguese adapted admirably to a deeper role at the start of this season under former head coach Ruben Amorim, he has been exceptional since being reinstated in the No.
10 role under Michael Carrick. Despite investing over £200 million in attack last summer, the 31 year old very much remains United’s main man. This season, Fernandes has registered eight goals and 17 assists in 30 appearances across all competitions, 29 of which have been starts.
