Fabrizio Romano has dropped transfer updates over two Manchester United players, providing some good news for Red Devils fans ahead of the summer transfer window.

While there is uncertainty over who Man Utd will be chasing in the summer due to the incoming backroom staff still getting their feet under the table, it has become clear that the Old Trafford want to offer assurances to Bruno Fernandes that he will not be leaving the club.

There has been talk of a dramatic overhaul at Old Trafford in the summer, but Romano has moved to clarify the situation of the captain.

“Someone who won’t be leaving is Bruno Fernandes, who has spoken publicly about his positive talks with the owners. Fernandes is very happy at Man United, and that has never changed,” Romano says on the Daily Briefing.

“Despite some of the rumours we’ve seen, I’ve never been aware of any concrete negotiation with Saudi clubs, he’s always been focused on Man United, and nothing else, so far. His dialogue with new INEOS people has been very positive and I think that’s very good news for the club.”

No late Martial surprise

Romano has confirmed, on the other hand, that the trend is for Anthony Martial to depart on a free transfer when his contract expires.

What is uncertain, though, is where the former Monaco star will wind up.

“Nothing is decided yet in terms of Martial’s next move - he is going to take time to decide, it’s still early and many clubs still have to clarify their future manager, so Martial will wait for it,” Romano says.

“What I can say is that he was not convinced by proposals from Turkey in January and he wanted to wait. For sure, though, the expectation remains that Martial is set to leave Man United as a free agent this summer.”
