If you are to describe Manchester United’s season so far with one word, the word disaster is appropriate, if you are to do the same with Tottenham, two words are needed, total disaster. On Saturday, Manchester United would turn the ship around at home at Old Trafford against bottom team Tottenham.
It went badly where Manchester United actually managed to give away a 1 – 0 lead to a Tottenham team with only 10 men on the pitch. – After the game, a frustrated captain was caught on camera rushing towards the car to get home as quickly as possible.

Bruno Fernandes’ statements that he feels like the yolk in the egg seem to have less weight now. – It has aroused the interest of yet another club in what could quickly become a race between giants. So far, we have heard a lot about a possible Atlético Madrid transfer, but they are definitely not alone anymore.
Turkish club Galatasaray is suddenly considered the main competitor for Atlético Madrid. According to several articles published this week, the Turkish club is in a better financial position in the race for the Portuguese midfielder, while AC Milan and Juventus are also keeping a close eye on his situation ahead of 2027.
Galatasaray take the lead for Bruno Fernandes
The Istanbul club are once again considering signing Bruno Fernandes after they failed to secure his signing last summer. According to journalist Ekrem Konna, Galatasaray are better positioned than their competitors due to the financial conditions they can offer the player.
AC Milan and Juventus are also interested, but the financial requirements of the deal will complicate their chances. As of now, there is no confirmed deal between Galatasaray and Manchester United – or an accepted offer from the English club.
The Portuguese player’s contract situation explains much of the interest. At 31, Fernandes faces an important phase in deciding his future at Old Trafford: his contract enters its final year, although United have an option to extend it for one more season. The £57 million free clause mentioned in the summer has already expired.
Atlético keep Bruno Fernandes on their radar for 2027
Atlético de Madrid are also considering Fernandes as a possible addition to strengthen their midfield. The red-and-white interest is focused on the 2027 summer market, where the player’s contract situation could open a new window for negotiations.
However, the operation does not depend solely on the will of the Madrid club. Galatasaray could compete with a higher financial offer, while Milan and Juventus are aware of the necessary conditions to try and secure the signing.
For Atlético, the challenge will be to assess the total cost of the operation and compete for a player who remains an important piece at Manchester United. There is no confirmation of a completed negotiation with the English club or an accepted offer from Atlético.
Manchester United still have room to decide
Manchester United’s position will be crucial. During the last transfer window, the club made it clear that they did not want to sell their captain, expressing that they would reject the offers they received. Additionally, the option to extend the contract allows them to maintain flexibility while considering the future.
Fernandes is coming off a season with 21 assists in the Premier League – a league record in one season – as well as nine goals. These stats explain why United consider it important to keep him and why more clubs are keeping an eye on his situation.
The next step will be to see if Galatasaray turn their interest into a concrete proposal, and how Manchester United respond as the 2027 market approaches. Bruno Fernandes still doesn’t have a clear destination, and Atlético will have to compete with the Turkish offer if they want to keep their options alive.
