Manchester United are reportedly starting to consider the possibility of parting ways with Bruno Fernandes, with a potential departure being discussed for the summer of 2026.
While the Portuguese midfielder remains a key figure in United's midfield and currently wears the captain's armband, the club is said to be weighing up its long-term strategy factoring in his age and potential market value.
Interest from Saudi Pro League clubs hasn’t gone away either. Big names like Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad are still believed to be monitoring the situation closely after expressing interest during the last transfer window.
This has fueled ongoing speculation about Fernandes' future at Old Trafford. According to Football Insider, United have been open to the idea of selling their skipper since last summer but have been waiting for the right offer to come along.
Fernandes is under contract with the Red Devils until 2027, with an option to extend. However, he’ll turn 31 in 2026, and that age milestone is reportedly influencing the club’s thinking when it comes to potential transfer value.
If a significant bid arrives, United are expected to seriously consider it viewing the moment as an opportunity to refresh the squad and plan for the next phase.
