In April, there was a lot of talk surrounding Bruno Fernandes and his future at Manchester United. Rumors were flying that Paris Saint-Germain was interested in signing the superstar midfielder in a big summer transfer deal. As the captain of United and a key player in the dressing room, Fernandes sparked speculation when he made some comments at the end of April.
During an interview, Fernandes stated, "Obviously, it doesn't just depend on me, does it? A player always has to want to be here, but at the same time, you have to want him to stay." These words, along with his hesitation to commit to the club in the long term, caused a stir among fans and media alike. However, Fernandes made it clear that his focus was on the current season and any discussions about his future would have to wait until after the Euros.
United manager, Erik ten Hag, was quick to address the situation and assured fans that he "absolutely" wants Fernandes to stay at Old Trafford. He also stated that Fernandes' comments were taken out of context. Despite this, PSG has continued to show their interest in the Portuguese international and are looking to secure him for the 2024-25 season, according to French outlet L'Equipe.
But PSG's interest in United's players doesn't stop there. L'Equipe also reports that the French club has been in talks with United for several days regarding a potential deal for Jadon Sancho. The young winger, who had a falling out with Ten Hag last season and was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund, is reportedly eager to join PSG. This news comes as a surprise after Ten Hag stated that they had "drawn a line" under their issues.
Meanwhile, former United defender Paul Parker has urged the club to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton and believes he is a better passer than Fernandes. In an interview, Parker praised Wharton's passing abilities, stating that he rarely gives the ball away and is always positive with his passes. He even went on to say that Wharton's longer range of passing is better than Fernandes', and he doesn't give the ball away as cheaply.
With all this talk about potential transfers, former United player Steve Bruce has expressed his concern that the club may make a huge mistake by selling Fernandes. Bruce believes that Fernandes is the shining light of the past few years at United and losing him would be a major blow. He praised Fernandes' intensity, statistics, and overall contribution to the team, stating that he is a top player and one they cannot afford to lose.
