Manchester United issue hands-off warning on Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United have issued a hands-off warning to clubs interested in Bruno Fernandes this summer

Fernandes is attracting interest from clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia after an outstanding Premier League campaign.

The Portugal international has recorded 18 assists in the Premier League and needs just three more across the final five games to set a new single-season record in the division.

The 31-year-old has also scored eight goals and clubs are keen to test United’s resolve, given the club captain will enter the final 12 months of his deal at Old Trafford this summer.

Al-Ittihad have been named as a potential destination, where Fernandes would link up with Portugal teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix.

However, United are adamant that Fernandes is not for sale under any circumstances. Journalist Samuel Luckhurst has said the Red Devils see Fernandes as central to their long-term project and plan to offer the midfielder a new deal.
