Bruno Fernandes is reportedly ready to stay at Manchester United beyond the summer transfer window if Michael Carrick remains at Old Trafford as the head coach.
According to a report by Football Insider, Bruno Fernandes faces an uncertain future at Manchester United. The Portuguese international is a target for several well-known clubs heading into the summer transfer window, with many big-spending Saudi Pro League giants failing to sign him last summer.
Recent reports have linked the Manchester United captain with Al-Hilal, while European giants have also shown interest in him. However, Fernandes is ready to remain at Old Trafford beyond the summer transfer window if the Red Devils retain Michael Carrick as the head coach going into the 2026/27 season.
How has Bruno Fernandes fared at Manchester United so far?
Bruno Fernandes has been one of the world’s best players since joining Manchester United from Sporting CP in a deal worth €55 million in January 2020. The 31-year-old playmaker hit the ground running at Old Trafford, and he has been a pivotal figure for the inconsistent Premier League giants, even though the Red Devils have experienced several peaks and troughs in the last half a dozen years.
The Portuguese international has been excellent in the 2025/26 season, scoring seven goals and providing 14 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions thus far. Meanwhile, Fernandes has been Manchester United’s club captain since the 2023/24 season, with Erik ten Hag handing him the additional responsibility after stripping the role from Harry Maguire.
What next?
While Bruno Fernandes has been brilliant for Manchester United, his long-term future has been uncertain since last summer due to his relentless links with Saudi Pro League clubs.
