In a post-match interview with Sky Sports after United’s 3-2 win over Newcastle, Fernandes reiterated his commitment to the club, stating, “I will be here if the club wants me to be a part of the future. If for some reason they don’t want me, I will go.”

Despite United’s openness to listen to offers for most of their first-team players as part of a squad rebuilding exercise, Fernandes remains an exception. While rumors have linked him with moves to Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, it would take a significant offer to sway United to part ways with their influential midfielder.
Although Fernandes still has two years left on his current contract, with the option to extend for another season, his comments raised eyebrows. However, Ten Hag, when informed of the captain’s remarks, assured, “Absolutely the club wants to keep Bruno.”
