Amid reports Manchester United are wary Bruno Fernandes could become a problem like Mo Salah, a fresh update has revealed the club\u2019s true intentions regarding a shock summer sale.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy looking back in hindsight, but you\u2019ll find very few who now believe Liverpool giving Mohamed Salah a lucrative two-year deal last summer was the right move. After just one disappointing year of that deal, the ageing winger will move on at season\u2019s end and Liverpool aren\u2019t collecting a transfer fee.<\/p>\n
A recent report from CaughtOffside<\/a> claimed Man Utd<\/a> are realistic about captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a> following a similar course.<\/p>\n The Portuguese will turn 32 a month into next season and it was claimed there is \u2018internal division\u2019 amongst Old Trafford chiefs on whether this summer is the right time to cash in.<\/p>\n However, a fresh update from The Daily Express <\/a>has revealed Man Utd\u2019s true intentions \u2013 they do NOT wish to sell.<\/p>\n It\u2019s stated Man Utd have already \u2018informed\u2019 Fernandes of their burning desire to retain their talisman beyond the summer, and that their stance is set in stone.<\/p>\n The report read: \u2018In recent weeks, Fernandes has been informed by United\u2019s decision-makers that they want him to stay, and that message has been conveyed very clearly to the Portugal international. They will do so at all costs. There can be no ambiguity this year.\u2019<\/p>\n The issue for Man Utd is Fernandes\u2019 contract contains a release clause non-Premier League clubs can activate at their lesiure. The clause is worth \u00a357m, and means Man Utd can be taken out of the equation entirely if it\u2019s triggered.<\/p>\n ICYMI: Carragher \u2018fears\u2019 Liverpool fans turning into Man Utd counterparts through \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 demands<\/a><\/p>\n What\u2019s more, European giants, PSG and Bayern Munich, are known to be circling. The long-standing interest from the PIF-backed Saudi Arabian clubs isn\u2019t going away either.<\/p>\n Indeed, we\u2019re less than 12 months removed from Al-Hilal being prepared to pay \u00a3100m and offer Fernandes \u00a3700,000-a-week wages last summer.<\/p>\n But thankfully for those wishing to see Fernandes remain in Manchester, it\u2019s hinted he\u2019s content with the project United are embarking on.<\/p>\n The first step is giving Fernandes the opportunity to test himself against the world\u2019s best players in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
