CaughtOffside reported that transfer speculation around Bruno Fernandes' future at Manchester United had intensified. The outlet said United are weighing whether to extend the captain's contract or sell him next summer.
Contract position
Fernandes is Manchester United captain. His current deal expires in June 2027, although United hold an option to extend it by another year. There is no firm evidence yet that Fernandes has formally asked to leave.
Carrick's stance
Michael Carrick recently insisted the 32-year-old remains fully committed to United following clear-the-air talks after their disagreement over tactics. Carrick also confirmed Fernandes would remain captain.
Linked clubs and outside view
Atlético Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Galatasaray have all been linked with Fernandes. Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda recently argued that Fernandes may be better suited to another elite European project, suggesting his United spell could be approaching its natural conclusion.
United's assessment
CaughtOffside reported that United are considering whether to extend Fernandes' deal or sell him next summer rather than risk losing a valuable asset for nothing. CaughtOffside reported that United are already assessing potential replacements.
