Team News: Manchester United
Manager Erik ten Hag addressed the fans after the final home game of the season, expressing gratitude for their support and promising continued efforts to bring success to the club.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has affirmed the club’s intention to retain captain Bruno Fernandes following the midfielder’s expressed desire to stay at Old Trafford. While United is open to offers for most of their first-team players to facilitate squad rebuilding, young talents like Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, and Rasmus Hojlund are exceptions. Fernandes, though on the transfer radar of clubs like Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, would require a significant bid to sway United to part with their key player. Fernandes himself reiterated his dedication to the club in a post-match interview with Sky Sports, following his impactful performance in a 3-2 Premier League victory over Newcastle, where he excelled in the false nine role.
โI will be here if the club wants me to be a part of the future,โ he said. โIf for some reason they donโt want me, I will go.โ Said Fernandes.
