Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes may leave the team after the end of the season. The U.S., where Son Heung-min is located, is also an option.
The British Football Insider reported on the 27th (Korea time) "Bruno Fernandez is known to be open to moving to Saudi Arabia, the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) or other big leagues in Europe"
The Manchester United squad, led by Bruno Fernandes, is off to a bad start this season. Despite the joining of many players in the summer transfer market, not much has improved. Manchester United has one draw and one loss in two games since the opening of the 2025-2026 season. The league ranking is down to 16th place.
Fernandes missed a penalty in the second round of the Premier League against Fulham on the 25th, providing the cause of the 1-1 draw. The captain is partly responsible for not winning a single game since the opening game.
There was a big move for Manchester United this summer. Rasmus Hoylun is set to leave the team due to the addition of Benjamin Sheshko, with captain Fernandes said to remain for the moment but plan to explore new challenges after the end of the season.
The media quoted British Daily Mail as saying that "Portugal international Fernandez is open to new plans next summer and is considering a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia, MLS, or other major leagues in Europe."
Despite the Saudi professional league's interest, Fernandes chose to stay at Manchester United for this season. He decided that it was the right decision to remain in the Premier League the year before the World Cup.
However, Manchester United manager Juven Amorim's tactical system places Fernandes in the role of midfield midfielder, not as aggressive as in the past, and it is evaluated that he does not fully utilize his strengths.
Last season Fernandes played a key role in the attack under Amorim. However, with Matheus Cunha and Brian Mbommo joining through the summer transfer window, the pressure to lead the attack has been reduced. As Fernandez's need is relatively reduced, some say that choosing to transfer after the end of the season is a reasonable option.
Fernandez's decision is similar to Son's. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has also taken on a new challenge as his skills have declined at the age of over 30. Fernandez is also about to turn 31. Still a competitive player, but it's also a time to make a difference for the last challenge in football life.
