Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has dropped a hint that he could leave the Old Trafford club in the summer during an interview with Portuguese TV.
Reports broke earlier this week that Man Utd have only three players that the club will not consider selling during the forthcoming summer window, with Bruno’s name conspicuously absent from the list.
Instead, it is Rasmus Hojlund, Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho who will not be allowed to leave Old Trafford this summer under any conditions.

Fernandes, who has featured 45 times for Man Utd this season, scoring 15 goals and creating another 11, could therefore end his four-and-a-half relationship with the club.
Now the captain of the Old Trafford outfit has dropped a hint that he could be on his way this summer – but not until after Euro 2024.
“If you want me to be very honest, if I have to think about not continuing in the Premier League, it won’t be until after the EUROs...” he told DANZ Portugal.

What’s really happening with Bruno?
From the words of the former Sporting CP star, it sounds like that he is not prioritising a move away from Man Utd but accepts that may become an eventuality given the wholesale changes that are forecast as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team begin their revolution of the club.
Fernandes, though, is not likely to be among the leading players that United will want to offload.
A team leader, he still has a couple of years left on his contract plus the option of another season, ensuring that the Red Devils will not be forced into a hasty decision over the 29-year-old.
Nevertheless, the fact that Bruno refused to give a flat refusal of the possibility that he could leave Man Utd in the forthcoming transfer window does indeed suggest major changes are afoot.
