Bruno Fernandes posts promise to Man United fans after ‘exit stance’ revealed
Bruno Fernandes posted an upbeat message for Man United fans after their draw with Lyon, as speculation continues to swirl around his future at Old Trafford.
Man United were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final away to Lyon, a result that left fans frustrated with the performance.
The night started poorly for United, as Andre Onana, already under fire after a tense exchange with Nemanja Matic before kick-off, failed to deal with Tiago Almada’s free-kick, allowing it to bounce into the net.
Leny Yoro levelled the score shortly after, before Fernandes played a key role in the turnaround, threading a late assist for Joshua Zirkzee to put United ahead.
But just as it looked like they’d take control heading into the second leg, Onana’s costly lapse in stoppage time handed Lyon an equaliser, as he spilled a shot directly into the path of Rayan Cherki.
Amid growing rumours that Fernandes could leave Man United this summer, the captain took to social media after the game to send a clear message to the fans, urging supporters to stick with them ahead of a decisive second leg at Old Trafford.

Man United fans call for Matheus Cunha signing amid growing interest
With Fernandes expected to stay, the Red Devils are already setting sights on summer additions.
Man United supporters have urged the club to pursue a move for Matheus Cunha, following reports that his agent has held initial talks over a possible transfer to Old Trafford.
However, United face competition for the Brazilian forward, with Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Liverpool all monitoring Cunha’s situation.
The Brazilian can play across the front line or in an attacking midfield role and could form a dynamic partnership with Fernandes–something that will excite the fanbase hoping for a creative boost next season.
