Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo Man United transfer 'exit' latest as Real Madrid claim emerges
@Source: manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo are both being linked with a move away from Manchester United this summer. Reports emerged over the weekend suggesting renewed interest in Fernandes from Saudi Arabia this summer. The Sun claim that Al-Ittihad are "targeting" the Reds' captain as the summer transfer window draws to a close. Elsewhere, a recent report from The Athletic suggests that Mainoo 'is open to leaving United' due to Reds boss Ruben Amorim favouring other midfield options. However, it is claimed that the England international's choices are limited before the transfer window closes on September 1 despite previous interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea . Below is a round-up of all the latest reports surrounding the pair. The Daily Mail claim that Fernandes wishes to stay at United for another season in order to 'avoid any disruption' before the 2026 World Cup. The report suggests that he would then contemplate departing following the tournament. It is alleged Fernandes would be willing to join a side in Saudi Arabia, America or another prominent European division. As reported on Sunday by The Manchester Evening News , United expect Fernandes to stay at Old Trafford beyond the current window. United sources are baffled over the new speculation, with it highly unlikely that the player will leave the club this summer. Fernandes has two years remaining on his current contract with the club having the option for an additional year. Earlier in the window, amid the speculation over his future, Fernandes himself opened up on his future. He said: "I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go. "I'm eager to do more, to be able to bring the club the great days. "In the day that the club thinks that I'm too much or it's time to part ways, football is like this, you never know it. "But I've always said it and I keep my word in the same way. If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it's what it is, and football sometimes is like this." Real Madrid and fierce rival Atletico Madrid are said to be among the European heavyweights keeping an eye on Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo amid ongoing uncertainty around his future at Old Trafford . That's according to Mike Keegan of the Daily Mail , who claims the La Liga giants have joined the list of Premier League clubs weighing up a move for the United academy graduate. The report claims a season-long loan would interest both Spanish clubs, with the England international struggling for game time under Ruben Amorim. Mainoo has two-years remaining on the deal he signed when he was a 17-year-old, with his contract set to expire in 2027, though United do have the option of an additional year. When recently asked about Mainoo's future at the club, Amorim stated it was down to director of football Jason Wilcox to agree new terms with players."That part is with Jason, so he is our player," Amorim said. "He has a contract, I didn’t hear any news about that." Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.
