Bruno Fernandes demands key promise from Man United to stay at the club
Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has set a clear condition to the club in order for him to remain.
Fernandes has been the main man at United since his arrival from Sporting CP in 2020. He has arguably been the best signing the club has made since Sir Alex Fergusonâs retirement.
He has continued to lead from the front this season, with the Portuguese playmaker registering an impressive eight goals and providing an additional 16 assists. He broke David Beckhamâs assist record last month to become the United player with the most assists in a Premier League campaign.
Fernandes is just four away from matching, and possibly surpassing, Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henryâs Premier League record (20).
Yet, there have been murmurs that an exit this summer could be on the cards. Last summer, he attracted strong interest from the Saudi Pro League but he eventually turned down a mega proposal from the Gulf nation in favour of staying at Old Trafford.
Saudi clubs are still keeping tabs on his situation, while there have also been suggestions that European heavyweights like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain want to add him to their ranks. United want to keep Fernandes and he has now informed them what they must do for this to happen.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Fernandes called on United to promise him that they will do everything to be a competitive outfit.
He told the newspaper, âEveryone that comes to Man United wants to win every trophy. No one thinks in coming to the club that weâre going to fight for one or two trophies in six years. You want to fight for all of them.â
âThen we went to three finals and didnât win. That can happen. But at least youâve been there in the fight. We were close. And what I said to the club every time that I spoke with them, what I want from the time Iâm here, I want to compete. Because if I compete, I will be close to winning.â
âIf I donât compete, thereâs no chance Iâm going to get close to anything. So, the main thing that the club understood is this: itâs 2013 that they last won the Premier League. Thatâs too long for a club like Man United. Being now so long without winning a Premier League is not normal.â
âAs a player, you have to understand that the fans, the expectation, will always be that we want to come back and win the Premier League.â
Fernandes continued, âAs players, we have that expectation when we come to Man United. It doesnât change. I know people will think: âYouâre going to get more money, you can get better contracts.â No, you come to Man United because you want to win trophies. Because money you can get anywhere.â
âA lot of clubs in the Premier League pay well, a lot of clubs in Italy, Spain, they will pay you a lot. But you come to the club because of the history, because of what you want to achieve and what you think you can achieve.â
âWhat I always say to the club is: âYou canât promise me that Iâm going to win the Premier League. Thatâs impossible. But if you promise me that weâre going to be competitive and weâre going to be there at the end⊠thatâs all I need to know. Because then itâs on me to become the best version of myself, to help everyone around to become the best version of themselves, to become the club we want to be.
Fernandes and his teammates return to action on Monday when they host Leeds United. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.
