Man Utd players fear something concerning Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United is entering a turbulent summer, with the future of captain Bruno Fernandes suddenly becoming a focal point.

According to multiple sources within Old Trafford, Man United players believe that the Portuguese star is genuinely exhausted by the ongoing turmoil at the club and may part ways with the team right after the World Cup.

Bruno Fernandes has long been regarded as a symbol of fighting spirit and responsibility at Man United. Since joining the club in 2020 for a fee of £46.6 million from Sporting Lisbon, the midfielder has consistently been a rare bright spot amid an unstable squad. However, even a resilient leader like Fernandes cannot remain unaffected by the prolonged upheaval both on and off the pitch.

In November, Fernandes openly admitted feeling hurt upon learning that Man United’s management was willing to let him go if a suitable offer arrived. This revelation surprised many fans, as Fernandes has always shown absolute love and loyalty to the club. The departure of coach Ruben Amorim, who had convinced him to stay despite a £100 million offer from Al-Hilal, further shook the 31-year-old midfielder’s confidence.

A source inside the dressing room revealed that many Man United players believe Fernandes has endured enough. They think that the instability under the new ownership model, constant changes on the coaching bench and the lack of a clear development strategy for the team are wearing down the captain’s spirit. Nevertheless, his teammates maintain deep respect for Fernandes and would fully understand if he chooses to seek a new club.

Notably, Fernandes is not the type to be swayed by massive contracts from Saudi Arabia. He is considered someone who pursues the pure values of football, always prioritizing professionalism and the ambition to compete at the highest level. Therefore, if he leaves Manchester United, it is likely he will look for a stable environment with clear ambitions in Europe rather than chasing financial gain.

At present, Fernandes remains silent about his future and insists he will only make a decision after completing the World Cup held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. He recently returned to the Man United lineup in the 2-2 draw against Burnley in the Premier League and is expected to continue playing a leading role in the upcoming FA Cup match against Brighton under interim coach Darren Fletcher.
