Bruno Fernandes has made his mind up on staying at Manchester United | OneFootball

Bruno Fernandes has no intention of leaving Manchester United immediately. Despite reports suggesting a possible departure in this January transfer window, following Ruben Amorim's exit from the managerial position, the Portuguese international midfielder intends to stay at Old Trafford for now.

According to the BBC, the Red Devils' captain wants to complete the season with the club, working alongside Michael Carrick in leading the team until a permanent manager is appointed, after the interim period in which Darren Fletcher guided the English team for two matches.

The same source, however, indicates that the midfielder is considering reassessing his future at the end of the season, when he will enter the final year of his contract with Manchester United. At that time, the calendar also includes Portugal's participation in the 2026 World Cup, a competition that extends until mid-July, with the transfer market already open.

In recent statements, Bruno Fernandes acknowledged being disappointed with the club's openness to a potential transfer to Al Hilal last summer, although he mentioned that Ruben Amorim advocated for his stay. According to the BBC, if he does leave, the Portuguese international's priority will be to continue competing in European football.

"I thought the empathy and affection I had with the club were mutual. But that empathy might exist, but there comes a point where money is more important than you. The club wanted me to leave. I told the directors that. I think they didn't have the courage to make that decision because the manager wanted me. If I had said I wanted to leave, the club would have let me go," emphasized the former Sporting player, statements that caused quite a stir at Old Trafford.
