Bruno Fernandes has broken his silence on speculation he could leave Manchester United.
After a recent report from the Telegraph claimed the Red Devils’ ownership are willing to listen to offers for almost all their senior first team, Fernandes’ future has naturally come under question.
And while the Portuguese playmaker may be crowned his side’s best player of the season, there is lurking uncertainty over whether or not he’ll continue at Old Trafford.

However, breaking his silence on suggestions he could move on in search of a new challenge, the 29-year-old, who spoke to DAZN, admitted he will only think about leaving after the summer Euros in Germany.
“My future? At the moment, I feel both me and the club want to continue together,” the former Sporting Lisbon star said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
“I’m not thinking about the future. If you want me to be very honest, if I have to think about not staying, it won’t be until after the FA Cup final and the Euros.”
Although United are in no danger of losing the midfielder with his contract not set to expire until 2026 but with the club retaining the option to add another year, there could be a temptation to cash in on the soon-to-be 30-year-old while his value remains high.
Currently valued at around £65 million (TM), Fernandes, if he were to be sold, would allow the club to inject significantly more funds into their summer rebuild, which could include a whole host of high-profile sales.
Nevertheless, regardless of what happens with their number 18 this summer, Fernandes’ four-and-a-half-years at Old Trafford, from a personal perspective, has been a resounding success. The midfielder has scored 79 goals and registered 64 assists in 230 games in all competitions — an average of over one direct contribution per game.
