At every previous transfer window, Bruno Fernandes has been linked with an exit from Manchester United. Not this summer, no. Because in the space of a few months, the criticism of the captain’s waving arms and seething on the pitch has been stopped by Bruno’s football genius. Jürgen Klopp goes so far as to praise the United captain as the Premier League Player of the Year, at the weekend he became the third player in club history with 100 assists. The United management is now working hard to remove Fernandes’ possible motivation to leave Old Trafford, now it is reported that the biggest obstacle will be removed.
Fernandes already has 17 assists this season, despite spending much of the season playing in a much deeper role under Ruben Amorim.Now back in a number 10 role under Carrick, United have once again benefited from the player’s creativity. Still, the fact that clubs outside the Premier League could press the buyout clause button with £57 million this summer worries the United management.

According to the Daily Mail’s source , United will do everything in their power to keep him.
“Manchester United have told Bruno Fernandes that the club will do everything possible to keep him at Old Trafford this summer. After United confirmed that Casemiro will be allowed to leave when his contract expires in three months, “confidential sources” have said that a unanimous decision has been made to try to keep Fernandes. It is understood that United’s captain has been informed of the club’s stance since he aired his concerns in a Portuguese TV interview before Christmas,” writes the Mail’s United reporter Nathan Salt.

Bruno Fernandes is said to have previously experienced the United management wanted to push him out of the club, this “we want you to stay!” attitude and the goal of rewarding him with a new deal before the end of the season as the club’s highest paid player by far, removes the captain’s doubts about his position before the coming season.
This provides a basis for negotiations and signing of a new contract (existing runs until 2027 with an option for an additional season) – without the troublesome buyout clause.
We believe the 31-year-old still wants to succeed with Man Utd, and is willing to risk everything – in what could be the last part of his career – to make it happen.
The most important obstacle has at least been removed. The Man Utd management gets down on one knee to ask the captain to stay.
