After his outstanding performance against Newcastle, Bruno Fernandes was officially named Player of the Match. The talented midfielder, known for his impressive skills and leadership qualities, remains confident that he will continue to wear the Manchester United jersey next season. However, he did mention that his future with the club depends on their desire to keep him on the team.
There were initial speculations that United's captain would be one of the few players deemed untouchable by the club, given his role as skipper and his status as the team's top performer in recent years. However, recent reports have surfaced claiming that minority owners INEOS are open to selling Fernandes for the right price as they embark on a rebuilding phase. Despite the rumors, Fernandes did not rule out the possibility of a transfer last month.
Bayern Munich and Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr have both been linked to signing the Portugal international. However, Fernandes made it clear that his loyalty lies with Manchester United. In an interview following Wednesday night's 3-2 victory over Newcastle, the 29-year-old confidently stated that he will remain with the club as long as they want him.
"I will be here until... I said the club needs to want me," Fernandes told Sky Sports. "I feel that is the case, the club wants me to be a part of the future. As I've always said, I don't want to be a player that the club doesn't want to have. If for some reason the club doesn't want to have me, I will go. But if they want me, I will stay."
Fernandes proved his worth once again during the match against Newcastle, where he put in a stellar performance and even assisted Rasmus Hojlund for United's third goal. This victory keeps the Red Devils in the race for European football as they head into the final day of the season on Sunday.
Reflecting on the tough season, Fernandes acknowledged the support and dedication of the fans, saying, "The fans have been amazing and behind us all season. We all appreciate what they have been doing for us. We want to do better and do differently and they deserve that." However, he also acknowledged that the results have not been up to par and that the team needs to do more.
"We have been working hard and everyone has been giving their best, but it is not enough. We have to do more," Fernandes added. As for his captaincy, Fernandes humbly stated, "It doesn't exist, a captain's performance. It is a team performance. I am no different from anyone just because I have the armband. I always try my best and we always do the best we can for the club – nobody hides that we play for a big club and we have to lift our standards every game."
As Manchester United continues to strive for success, Fernandes remains committed to the club and its fans. He understands the expectations and pressure that come with playing for such a prestigious team and is determined to continue giving his all for the Red Devils.
