In the summer, he had the chance to head to Saudi Arabia, but turned down the riches on offer there to remain with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/manchester-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He stated at the time that if the Red Devils wanted him out, he\u2019d have gone. There has since been a tactical shift at Old Trafford, seemingly ending suggestions that Fernandes would be better off elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s gone from being in a stifled deeper midfield role \u2013 but still suppling aptly \u2013 to a return to the No.10 position in a midfield three, and has five assists and a goal in the last six games there.<\/p>\n<p>While his resurgence would suggest there\u2019d be an end to speculation over his future, <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/thedailybriefing.io\/p\/bruno-fernandes-man-united-transfer-sale\" target=\"_blank\">Caught Offside<\/a> states there\u2019s actually still a chance that Fernandes is allowed to leave.<\/p>\n<p>A source reportedly said: \u201cA lot of people inside Manchester United will describe Bruno Fernandes as \u2018indispensable,\u2019 and there\u2019s an element of truth to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, they\u2019re also realistic about his age, his high earnings, and the fact that his current contract expires in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another source added: \u201cIn an ideal world United would keep him, but the reality is that this is their last chance to make big money from selling him, and they have plans of their own in terms of new signings to reshape their midfield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further to that, it\u2019s reported that Fernandes has \u2018serious interest\u2019 from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, while clubs in Saudi Arabia also remain hot on his tail.<\/p>\n<p>MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365:<br \/>*\u00a0<a
