Bruno Fernandes has ‘had enough’ as Man Utd chiefs fear he’ll force transfer exit | Football | Sport

Manchester United chiefs are reportedly worried that Bruno Fernandes has ‘had enough’ and will push to leave Old Trafford in the near future. The midfielder has been a stalwart for the Red Devils since joining the club from Sporting in 2020. He remains tied down until 2027 but there has been growing talk of a potential exit.

It’s now being reported that United chiefs are worried about Fernandes seeking an exit when the season draws to a close. According to i, there is a ‘general fear’ that the Red Devils skipper has ‘had enough’ and will look to leave.

The midfielder is highly thought of by everybody at the club because of what he does on and off the pitch, but there are questions over whether he is willing to keep dragging United forward almost single-handedly.

He still has ambitions of winning league titles, which won’t happen at United unless drastic improvements are made across the board over the next few seasons.

The report adds that Fernandes enjoyed a good relationship with Amorim and the prospect of another interim head coach, followed by another fresh face in the summer, might push him towards leaving.

While a move to Saudi Arabia appears to be the most likely option, he could still join another top European club. Bayern Munich are among the sides thought to be keeping tabs on his situation at United.

It’s claimed that Fernandes has a clause in his contract that would allow him to join a team outside England for around £57million.

He recently spoke about how close he came to joining the Saudi Pro League last year, saying: “From the club I felt it was, ‘If you go it’s not so bad for us’. It hurts me a bit. More than hurting me, it makes me sad.

“I’m a player that no one can criticise, I’m always available, I always give my best. I don’t see it as a matter of money. Financially I can’t complain, although the difference with Saudi Arabia is massive.

“If I ever go to play in Saudi Arabia, I will, it won’t be for the money, I’ll go because the lifestyle will change, my children’s lives will be sunny, after six years of cold and rain in Manchester, because I’ll be playing in a league that’s growing.

“The passion and empathy for the club were the same, but it reaches a point where money is more important to them than you. The club wanted me to leave.

“I told the directors that I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision because the manager wanted me. But if I said I wanted to leave, even with the manager wanting me to stay, the club would let me.”
