sport news Bruno Fernandes hints at 'thinking about' leaving Man United after Euro 2024 - ... trends now
Bruno Fernandes has hinted he could consider a shock exit from Manchester United just a day after reports suggested the club were open to sell the majority of their squad in a drastic overhaul this summer.
Erik ten Hag won the Carabao Cup and led United to third place in his debut season in the Premier League, but has endured a nightmare second campaign at Old Trafford.

The club captain, Fernandes has been one of the few positive notes in an otherwise dismal campaign, scored 15 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions and setting up a further 11.

'I’m not thinking about other things at the moment,' he told DAZNPortugal on Tuesday.
'Obviously, it doesn’t just depend on me, does it?
