Manchester United have already begun behind-the-scenes movements to secure the long-term future of midfielder Bruno Fernandes, according to GiveMeSport. The club is reportedly prepared to make significant efforts to keep their influential captain at Old Trafford ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Romano, providing an update on his YouTube channel, detailed United’s proactive stance in fending off potential suitors. The club is keen to avoid any temptations for Fernandes from other major European clubs and those in Saudi Arabia, recognizing his pivotal role in the squad.
United’s proactive approach to retain captain
The urgency to retain Fernandes stems from his consistent importance to the team, a sentiment echoed by Romano. “What I can tell you is that, according to my information, behind the scenes, movements have already started for Bruno Fernandes to stay at Manchester United,” Romano stated. “This summer, from what I understand, Man Utd are prepared to make efforts to keep Bruno.”
This commitment highlights United’s determination to build around their key players. “Man Utd want to avoid temptations around Europe, temptations from Saudi,” Romano added. “My understanding is that United have started conversations behind the scenes to keep Bruno Fernandes.” Such early action underscores the club’s recognition of Fernandes’ value and their desire to prevent a protracted transfer saga.

Fernandes’ crucial role and Champions League impact
Fernandes has consistently been one of Manchester United’s most impactful performers since his arrival. His creative output reached new heights recently, as he secured his 21st assist of the Premier League season, surpassing the previous record held jointly by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
His contributions were instrumental in Manchester United’s recent qualification for the Champions League, a significant achievement after the club spent the previous season without European football. Securing a spot in Europe’s elite club competition is seen as a crucial factor in convincing a player of Fernandes’ calibre to remain at the club, potentially keeping him at Old Trafford for the 2026-27 season and beyond. His ability to deliver key passes and goals has been a driving force behind United’s return to the top tier of European football, making his retention a top priority for the club’s hierarchy.
