Speculation surrounding Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes' future has intensified, with multiple reports indicating that his teammates are convinced he will depart Old Trafford by the summer of 2026. This sentiment reportedly stems from the ongoing "turmoil" at the club and Fernandes' own admission that he felt "hurt" and "sad" by the club's openness to selling him in the summer of 2025. According to sources, including The Sun, Fernandes' colleagues believe he has "had enough of the shambles" at United. Despite having a contract with Manchester United until June 2027, with an option for a further year, a potential £57 million release clause for overseas clubs is rumored to become active next summer, fueling exit talks. However, Manchester United has reportedly denied the existence of an official release clause. Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal is actively pursuing Fernandes, reportedly preparing a massive new offer of around £100 million for his transfer and a weekly wage of approximately £600,000. While Fernandes reportedly rejected a significant offer from an Arab club in January 2026, he is understood to prefer considering any potential move in the summer rather than a mid-season departure, citing "things to do" in Europe. The sacking of former manager Ruben Amorim, who had previously convinced Fernandes to stay, is also cited as a factor contributing to the player's disillusionment. The ongoing uncertainty around the club's managerial situation and consistent underperformance are pushing the influential midfielder towards a fresh start.
