Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes reportedly remains committed to finishing this season at Old Trafford despite recent speculations suggesting that the Portuguese star may be on his way out this month.
The 31-year-old’s future in Manchester was a subject of uncertainty before the start of the 2025/2026 season, with Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal famously failing with multiple bids to prise the prolific midfielder away from England.
Fernandes also drew global attention in December when he expressed his disappointment with the fact that Man United’s hierarchy were open to letting him leave the club last summer in a widely publicized interview.
The Portugal international went on to reveal in the interview that head coach at the time, Ruben Amorim, persuaded him to stay at Old Trafford, effectively tying the hands of the club’s upper management who would’ve sanctioned his departure for the right offer.
With Amorim’s sacking in the first week of January 2026 and the winter transfer window in full swing, it came as little surprise when speculations surrounding Fernandes’ future began to gain traction once again.
Fernandes is still greatly admired in Saudi Arabia where he’s been a player of great interest for the last couple of years. And he also has huge admirers from some of the top clubs across Europe’s biggest leagues.
However, the former Sporting Lisbon man appears ready to finish the season at Old Trafford. A report from BBC Sport reveals that Fernandes has no desire to seek an exit route this month and remains fully committed for the final few months of this season.
With that said, the picture could change drastically come the summer of 2026. The same report claims Fernandes will take time to reassess his options in the close season, meaning a departure from Old Trafford next summer is not completely ruled out.
