Fabrizio Romano shares update on Bruno Fernandes’ Man Utd future
Fernandes, who signed a new Man Utd contract until 2027 back in August, was linked with a move to Barcelona and Bayern Munich last summer. The Red Devils captain himself recently admitted he had an offer to leave Man Utd last year.
“I sat with the club because I had an offer to leave. We talked about the possibility of me leaving the club or staying. They said what they wanted from me. I just asked if they still see me as part of the future of the club or not.”
Now, Romano, as reported by Give Me Sport, has revealed that Fernandes will be staying at Man Utd, claiming he “trusts the project” at Old Trafford and is “key” for Amorim.
“Yes, he signed a new deal 8 months ago as he trusts the project and he’s a key player for Ruben Amorim. He’s so important for United and he’s staying.”
This is a welcome piece of news for Man Utd, especially with Fernandes currently in fine form, scoring a hat-trick against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.
In what has been a difficult season for United, the 30-year-old has scored 16 goals and provided 15 assists in all competitions, showing his class, so knowing he’ll be around no matter what next season is a boost for Amorim and Man Utd.
