Bruno has been increasingly linked to Madrid in recent weeks, with the Blancos planning to sign a top midfielder this summer.

There have been reports of a massive €100 million bid from the European champions, who have been enduring a difficult season.

Fernandes rejects Real Madrid

However, Football Insider reports that Bruno has informed his entourage that he will reject a move to Real Madrid.

This is likely to discourage Madrid, who will instead pursue other targets this summer.

Fernandes has been one of Europe’s most productive attacking midfielders for many years now but has been frustrated at times by the lack of success and trophies at United.

This has led to talk he would wish to quit United for Madrid if an offer comes in but that now appears to not be the case.

Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim also made it recently that there is no chance he will leave.

"No. It's not going to happen,” Amorim said.

"He’s 30, I think, but he’s still so young because he plays 55 games every season and between assists and goals he’s there for 30 at least.

"We are in control of the situation and I feel that he is really happy here, especially because he understands what we want to do and then I think he is one more supporter of Manchester United. He really feels it.

"Sometimes the frustration that you and everybody sees, and says, 'It's not a good thing for the captain' - it's a sign that he wants it so bad.

"This is the kind of player we want. He's not going anywhere - because I already told him."

Fernandes joined Man Utd in 2020 from Sporting Lisbon. He has since made 280 appearances, scoring 95 goals but only winning one EFL Cup and one FA Cup.
