Bruno Fernandes transfer situation takes new twist ahead of crucial Man Utd decision originally appeared on The Sporting News
Manchester United could be on the verge of a major decision regarding Bruno Fernandes.
The Portuguese midfielder, who has been a key figure at Old Trafford, now finds himself at the center of mounting transfer speculation.
The timing is tricky. United have had a shaky start to the season, currently sitting 14th in the Premier League with just seven points from six games.
The team’s early optimism has faded, and rivals are reportedly circling for opportunities to snap up talent. Fernandes, under contract until 2027, might become one of those tempting targets.
Back in the summer, Saudi side Al-Hilal reportedly made a £100 million offer for Fernandes.
Both the club and the player turned it down. Fernandes said at the time that he would not block United if they decided to sell him in the future.

Now, with the January transfer window approaching, reports (via Manchester Evening News suggest the Saudi Pro League is preparing another attempt, offering a staggering £700,000-a-week tax-free deal.
That’s more than double his current salary and could make any player pause, no matter how loyal.

It’s not just the Saudis. Several European clubs are reportedly watching closely.
Fernandes, still un-cup-tied due to United missing out on European competition this season, is an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen mid-season.
His creativity and experience make him a high-value asset for clubs chasing Champions League glory.
Part of the issue at United lies in tactics. Manager Ruben Amorim has been deploying Fernandes in a deeper midfield role.
This setup has limited the star’s natural attacking instincts and forced him into more defensive work. Observers say it’s a waste of his abilities, and Fernandes’ visible frustration on the pitch has not gone unnoticed.
The coming weeks promise to be tense at Old Trafford. United must weigh loyalty, financial temptation, and tactical fit before making a decision.
One thing is clear: Bruno Fernandes is not just on the ball — he’s at the center of one of the club’s biggest dilemmas this season.
