The 29-year-old was handed the Man Utd captain’s armband by Erik ten Hag last summer, but he was not included in their list of “untouchable” players ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

As per The Telegraph, the Red Devils are willing to listen to offers for their entire first-team squad, with the exception of Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.

While Man Utd would reportedly consider selling Fernandes, it would take a “major” offer for the Portuguese midfielder to leave Old Trafford this summer, according to BBC Sport.

What has Bruno Fernandes said?

The Man Utd captain was asked about a possible Man Utd exit during an interview with DAZN Portugal. “I’m not thinking about other things at the moment,” he replied (as per Utd District).

“Obviously, it doesn’t just depend on me, does it? A player always has to want to be here, but at the same time, you have to want him to stay. At the moment, I feel there’s that on both sides.

“I’m not thinking too much about the future, not least because, obviously, this season hasn’t been at the level I’d hoped for, either individually or collectively, so far. We could still end the season by winning the cup. After that, we have a very important Euros coming up.

“So, 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 because nothing will be able to take my focus away from the FA Cup final and the EUROs, as there’s nothing more important than that at the moment.”

Fernandes has two years left on his current contract at Old Trafford, while he has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €65.3 million.
