Bruno Fernandes to quit Man United and join European giants – ‘this is from a good source’
Bruno Fernandes has been consistently linked with a Manchester United exit over the past few months.
Fernandes was the subject of an offer from the Saudi Pro League during the summer, but opted to remain at Old Trafford.
The 31-year-old grabbed the assist for Harry Maguire’s late winner, as Man United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday (19 October).
Ruben Amorim’s side are now up to ninth in the Premier League and will be looking to win their third game in a row against Brighton at the weekend.
Bayern Munich are readying a bid for Bruno Fernandes
Football Insider revealed on 15 September that Fernandes could be tempted to leave Man United if their performances do not show significant improvement.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that the midfielder is likely to leave Old Trafford to join German giants Bayern Munich.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness revealed that, according to one of his good sources, Bayern are readying a bid for Fernandes.
Wyness added that the move could work for both parties, as the Portuguese international would be a success in Germany, and it would allow Man United to freshen up their midfield.
He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “I think Bayern Munich are going to be the ones to come in for him. One of my good sources has told me that there are already bids being readied.
“They’re looking at the numbers, and Bruno would go to Germany. I think he’d be a big hit over there as well. Bayern Munich, we’ve all watched Harry Kane recently in great scoring form. I think Fernandes would do well there, and I think that’s what will happen.
“It would be good for United as well to freshen up that area. Even though he’s been a great performer for them, I think it’s something that they’ve got to look at for the future to try and reset that midfield.”
Second midfielder set to leave Man United
Meanwhile, Casemiro will receive offers from both the Middle East and his native Brazil if he does not commit his future to Man United.
The Brazilian international is out of contract at the end of the season, but the Red Devils do have the option to extend it for another year.
Casemiro was widely expected to leave Man United during the summer amid frustrations with his performances and the lofty wage he collects.
With interest growing in his signature ahead of the January transfer window and next summer, there will soon be a decision for United to make.
