Manchester United are aiming to build a squad capable of dealing with Champions League football on top of the Premier League and Bruno Fernandes’ future could be key to that\"Bruno<\/p>\n

It has already been a busy transfer window for Manchester United<\/a>, but the Red Devils are far from done. A number of senior stars have confirmed transfer exits, and there could be more on the way.<\/p>\n

As far as incomings are concerned, Ederson looks like being the first of many, with a deal to sign the Atalanta midfielder all but done. Several permanent exits have been announced already, with Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> and Casemiro<\/a> chief among them, while Andre Onana’s departure looks as though it will be another loan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last summer brought plenty of headlines about Marcus Rashford<\/a> and Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, and it’s more of the same right now. Rashford’s Barcelona<\/a> loan didn’t bring a permanent deal, leaving his future up in the air, but we could soon have a resolution regarding captain Fernandes after he opted against a Saudi Pro League<\/a> switch in 2025.<\/p>\n

We’ve also got more on another of United’s midfield targets as the rebuild begins following Casemiro’s exit. Here are our latest lines from around Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Fernandes ‘decides to stay’<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes has told his Manchester United team-mates he plans to stay, according to talkSPORT<\/a>. A final decision on the captain’s future isn’t expected until after the World Cup but there is not thought to be any fear that he might leave.<\/p>\n

Fernandes was targeted by several Saudi clubs last summer but decided to stay put. There are reports of renewed interest from clubs in the gulf this year, especially Al Nassr, who could have Portugal<\/a> boss Roberto Martinez in the dugout next term, but the midfielder’s decision to stay put is believed to be family-related and therefore unlikely to change.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old has started both of Portugal’s first two World Cup group games, grabbing an assist in the 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan<\/a>. Martinez’s team need a win in their final group game against Colombia<\/a> to top their group but are still guaranteed to progress as runners-up if they draw.<\/p>\n

Nmecha asking price set\"Felix<\/p>\n

Germany<\/a> star Felix Nmecha is among the midfielders linked with United as they look to restock their midfield after Casemiro’s exit and a potential departure for Manuel Ugarte. However, they’re unlikely to get the 25-year-old on the cheap.<\/p>\n

Nmecha, who spent time with Manchester City<\/a> as a youngster and played for England at youth level, would qualify as a homegrown player. According to Kicker<\/a>, though, he is valued at \u00a386million by his club Borussia Dortmund<\/a> and doesn’t have a release clause in his deal.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old didn’t start any of his country’s World Cup qualifiers but has been a mainstay for Julian Nagelsmann at the tournament proper. He started all three group games, scoring on his major tournament debut as Nagelsmann’s team beat Curacao<\/a> 7-1.<\/p>\n
