“They Didn’t Have the Courage”: Bruno Blasts United Board
The relationship between Manchester United and its captain, Bruno Fernandes, has reached a breaking point. Following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, Fernandes has reportedly reached his limit with the ongoing instability at Old Trafford.
In a revealing interview with Canal 11, the Portuguese midfielder didn’t hold back, accusing the club of trying to force him out:
“Manchester United wanted me to leave last summer, but I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision. I felt that if I left, it wouldn’t have been a problem for them.”
Bayern Munich Put on Red Alert
According to Peter Hall of The iPaper, Bayern Munich is closely monitoring the situation. With the German giants looking to bolster their creative midfield, a move for Fernandes is now considered a “real possibility.”
While United denies trying to push the player toward the Saudi Pro League, the friction between the board and the captain is undeniable. Fabrizio Romano previously confirmed that Fernandes remains a top target for Saudi clubs in the summer of 2026, but the allure of Bayern Munich could keep him in European elite football.
