Bruno Fernandes hints at 'thinking about' leaving Man United after Euro 2024

Bruno Fernandes has hinted he could consider a shock exit from Manchester United just a day after reports suggested the club were open to sell the majority of their squad in a drastic overhaul this summer.

Erik ten Hag won the Carabao Cup and led United to third place in his debut season in the Premier League, but has endured a nightmare second campaign at Old Trafford.

United are marooned in sixth place on the league table, were dumped out of the Champions League in the group stage and their defence of the League Cup ended prematurely.

Ten Hag's men reached the FA Cup final for the second consecutive season after surviving a major scare against Coventry, but their chances of upsetting Manchester City in a repeat of last season's showpiece appear remote.

The club captain, Fernandes has been one of the few positive notes in an otherwise dismal campaign, scored 15 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions and setting up a further 11.

The Portuguese is under contract at Old Trafford until the end of the 2025-26 season - United have an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months - and is broadly seen as one of United's cornerstones.

But Fernandes appeared to cast doubts over his permanence at United, which he joined from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, and insisted he needed to feel wanted at Old Trafford.

'I’m not thinking about other things at the moment,' he told DAZNPortugal on Tuesday.

'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. At the moment, I feel there’s that on both sides.'

The Portugal international, however, noted any discussion over his future would have to wait until after the Euros.
