Bruno Fernandes’ Agent in Talks Over Manchester United Exit as Bayern Takes Initial Steps to Sign Him… and Barca Could Follow.

According to sources, BAYERN MUNICH has approached Bruno Fernandes about signing.

The midfielder’s future at Old Trafford remains uncertain as the Red Devils prepare for a busy summer.

Bayern Munich has initiated talks to recruit Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes was the standout performer for United this season.

Erik ten Hag appointed Fernandes, 29, as United captain last year, but he could be persuaded to leave the club.

Bayern have also begun conversations with his agent, Miguel Pinho, over a summer transfer, according to O Jogo.

According to the source, Barcelona is also interested in signing Fernandes and could start discussions shortly.

SunSport believes that the United captain is considering leaving the club in the summer after four and a half seasons.

Fernandes startled the club last month when he hinted that he would leave after the Euros for a new challenge.

The FA Cup winner stated that he would wait until after the competition to make a definitive decision on his future.

However, he delivered a frightening suggestion that his time at Old Trafford could be coming to an end, warning the club to match his ambition.

In a column for The Players’ Tribune, he stated: “I simply want my expectations to match those of the team.

“Ask any fan, and they’ll tell you the same thing. We aim to compete in the league.

“We want to play Champions League football.” We want to be in the cup finals. That is the standard.

“That’s what I want. “That is what you all deserve.”

Bayern have looked to the Premier League for talent in recent years, with manager Vincent Kompany joining from Burnley after signing Harry Kane and Eric Dier.

SunSport’s opinion on Manchester United’s flops

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos will have a busy summer preparing Manchester United’s team for next season. SunSport weighs in on how the Red Devils should handle this summer’s flops.

Andre Onana, STAY: After a shaky start at Old Trafford, Onana has proven to be one of the squad’s more consistent members this season, despite being bombarded with shots all the time.

Altay Bayindir – GO: In February, reports stated Bayindir was dissatisfied with his bit-part job at Manchester United, despite interest from Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray. If a sale can generate a profit, it should be done.

Tom Heaton – STAY: Heaton, a 38-year-old veteran custodian, is a competent backup who earns a modest salary at the club. As long as he is content, it makes sense to keep him.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka – GO: The 26-year-old has yet to establish himself as a right-back. With his contract expiring in 2025, it makes sense to cash in now.

Diogo Dalot – STAY: Dalot, 26, has been one of Manchester United’s most dependable players this season.

Raphael Varane, GO: If it weren’t for his injury history, there would be a good case for keeping Varane, but expenditures must be reduced to allow the squad to be refreshed.

Harry Maguire – GO: Maguire has demonstrated the appropriate character to be at Manchester United, but his total talent and desired profile are debatable, with Maguire being too slow to play in a high-line defensive.

Lisandro Martinez – STAY: Martinez, 26, is unrivalled in terms of set up play. He needs a long-term defensive partner on the right side and to avoid the injuries that have afflicted him this season.

Jonny Evans – GO: Veteran campaigner Evans might easily be on the remain list if he was only going to be a little contributor. This season, however, he has exhibited signs of his age.

Victor Lindelof – GO: Lindelof, 29, has been consistent if not spectacular in his Manchester United career. He has one year remaining on his contract and should be moved on if a reasonable transfer fee can be obtained for him.

Willy Kambwala – STAY: He should be given a few years to mature behind a seasoned CB duo before joining the first squad as a starter or being transferred on.

Luke Shaw, GO: Shaw, one of the Premier League’s best left-backs when fit, has proven to be a reliable servant. Unfortunately, that has been his Achilles heel yet again this season.

Tyrell Malacia – STAY: Malacia, 24, was decent enough to gain some respect in his first season at Manchester United before an injury terminated his season and inadvertently led to his second season being written off.

Sofyan Amrabat – GO: At the Qatar World Cup, Amrabat, 27, looked like a world beater for Morocco. However, he has had a disappointing season in England, and his loan is unlikely to be extended.

Casemiro, GO: An alarming physical decline has turned him from a crucial figure to a burden. If a club is willing to buy the 32-year-old, who has two years left on his contract, United should seize the opportunity.

Christian Eriksen – GO: Eriksen proved to be a valuable asset, and Ineos should attempt to bring in another player with similar attributes, but his legs appeared to be failing near the conclusion of the season.

Kobbie Mainoo – STAY: The first of the so-called untouchables, Mainoo has been a rare source of hope in the Red Devils’ midfield this season.

Mason Mount – STAY: After an injury-plagued rookie season, Mount can be granted the benefit of the doubt until the summer of 2025.

Scott McTominay – STAY: McTominay, 27, has proven to be an excellent backup off the bench this season, which is why Ineos should look to keep him.

Bruno Fernandes – STAY: Manchester United’s best player since his arrival just over four years ago, Fernandes, 29, is second to none in terms of creating opportunities, and his drive inspires those around him.

Antony, GO: One may argue that Antony is the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history. Despite some notable moments, he is not Manchester United-quality.

Anthony Martial, GO: Martial should be let go as his contract expires this summer following an atrocious injury record of late.

Marcus Rashford – Stay: As simple as it would be to say Rashford should leave the club this summer, there aren’t many available players capable of scoring 30 goals every season.

Alejandro Garnacho – STAY: Garnacho, the third member of the untouchables, has made his mark on the right wing since joining. He is a raw talent, but he has demonstrated the potential to progress.

Rasmus Hojlund, STAY: A slow burner in his first season with Manchester United, the 21-year-old has frequently been short of supplies, preventing him from scoring the goals his movement and selfless play deserve.

Amad Diallo – STAY: In the few seconds he has appeared on the pitch for Manchester United this season, Diallo has looked dangerous and thrilling. He should be given an opportunity to shine with regular opportunities in the first squad during the season.
