Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has no plans to leave the club in the January transfer window. The Portuguese midfielder is said to be keen on a move following Ruben Amorim’s sacking.<\/p>\n
The former Sporting Lisbon manager was sacked earlier this month after a disastrous 14 months at Old Trafford. Fernandes, 31, was spotted meeting former manager Carlos Fernandes shortly after Amorim’s departure, sparking speculation that he may be exploring a move himself.<\/p>\n
However, according to BBC Sport, he remains committed to the club and intends to stick to his original plan to assess his future at the end of the season, when he has one year left on his contract.<\/p>\n
New talk has emerged about Fernandes’ future, with constant hints that he could leave the club. The playmaker has previously been linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal.<\/p>\n
Fernandes ruled out a move to the Middle East last summer, but later admitted he felt the club were trying to get rid of him. “The feeling from the club was, ‘If you leave, it’s not too bad for us,'” the player said.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little hurt. More than hurt, I’m sad. I’m a player that no one can criticize, I’m always available and I always try my best. I could have left during this transfer window and I would have earned more.”<\/p>\n
“I was going to win a lot of trophies this season, but I decided not to go, not only for family reasons, but because I really love the club.”<\/p>\n
Fernandes added: “The club wanted me to leave. I told the managers that I didn’t think they had the courage to make that decision because the manager wanted me. But if I said I wanted to leave, the club would let me, even if the manager wanted me to stay.”<\/p>\n

Fernandes has scored 103 goals in 310 appearances for United since joining from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020. He is now set to become the eighth manager at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Michael Carrick has been appointed as the club’s manager until the end of the season, taking over from former teammate Darren Fletcher. He will be aiming to get off to a good start in his second spell in charge as United face rivals Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
