Bruno Fernandes Intends to Stay at Manchester United

His declaration to teammates that he will remain for at least one more season leaves a €65m release clause as the main route for foreign clubs.

Overview

Reports published this week say Fernandes has told people close to him and Portugal teammates that he plans to stay at Old Trafford for at least one more year.
The 31-year-old has one year left on his contract, a club option for a further year, and a €65 million release clause that applies only to clubs outside England.
Saudi sides Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad made approaches last summer and had hoped to renew interest after the World Cup, but those parties now face the release clause if they pursue him.
Fernandes remains central to United’s on-field plans after a standout season in which he set the Premier League single-season assist record and provided an assist for Portugal at the World Cup.
United still need to formalise his future with a new deal or let the contract run, and that choice will shape the club’s summer recruitment and how much leverage overseas buyers have.
