Bruno Fernandes’ future plunged into fresh doubt as surprise Champions League club plot audacious raid – report

Manchester United improved dramatically in attack during the summer and also strengthened by bringing in Senne Lammens to replace Andre Onana. The Red Devils also have big plans this summer to remodel their midfield and take the next step towards competing in the Champions League and for the Premier League title. Bruno Fernandes Michael Carrick’s side are currently third in the table, and one of the main reasons for this has been the form of Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese captain has scored eight goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions this season for the Red Devils. Whilst United would love to keep their star player, there have been persistent rumours that Fernandes may decide to depart after this season. Last summer The 31-year-old has admitted that he was close to leaving Old Trafford last summer, but he ultimately decided to stay in Manchester. Nonetheless, there have been reports that he may reconsider his position this summer, and United have reportedly made contingency plans to sign Morgan Gibbs-White should their star leave. Galatasaray interest As a result of these rumours, Bayern Munich have been linked with a move for United’s creative fulcrum. Nonetheless, Turkish outlet Fanatik has reported that Galatasaray will make an audacious swoop for Fernandes in the summer. The report states that Galatasaray are interested in Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva but have also “set their sights on Silva’s Portuguese national team partner, Bruno Fernandes.” They claim that, “Bayern Munich may also be persistent in their pursuit, but Galatasaray is ready to negotiate with the Portuguese superstar and present their own terms, regardless of their rivals.” With a World Cup looming and a huge summer of investment on the cards, United will want to sort out the future of their talismanic captain as soon as possible.
