Todd Boehly could get Mason Mount revenge as Bruno Fernandes hints at Man Utd exit
Is Bruno Fernandes Leaving Manchester United?
There’s uncertainty swirling around Bruno Fernandes’ future at Manchester United, and Chelsea might just seize the opportunity. Fernandes recently sent shockwaves through the Manchester United fanbase by hinting at a potential departure during the upcoming summer transfer window. As speculation mounts, William Gallas, a former Chelsea player, believes his old club should make a move if Fernandes decides to leave Old Trafford.
Fernandes’ Impact at Old Trafford
Since his £47 million move to Manchester United in January 2020, Fernandes has been a pivotal figure for the Red Devils. With an impressive record of 79 goals and 64 assists in 230 appearances, he’s solidified his place as one of Europe’s top attacking midfielders.
United’s Vulnerability and Fernandes’ Uncertainty
Manchester United’s failure to secure Champions League qualification has left them susceptible to losing key players like Fernandes. His dissatisfaction with the team’s performance under Erik ten Hag has fueled speculation about his future, especially after Portugal’s Euro 2024 campaign.
Fernandes’ Statement and Transfer Window Rumors
In a recent interview with DAZN, Fernandes hinted at his potential departure but remained focused on his current commitments, including the FA Cup final and the Euros. With rumors swirling about United listening to offers for senior players in the upcoming transfer window, including Fernandes, Chelsea might see an opportunity to bolster their squad.
Gallas’ Opinion and Chelsea’s Potential Move
William Gallas believes that Chelsea should consider making a move for Fernandes, along with Marcus Rashford, to strengthen their attacking lineup. He highlights Fernandes’ leadership qualities and his potential to fill the number ten role, where Chelsea currently lack depth.
Unlikelihood of Chelsea’s Move
While the idea of Fernandes joining Chelsea seems enticing, it’s unlikely given Chelsea’s own struggles this season. However, if a European powerhouse offers Champions League football, the scenario of a Fernandes-less United might become a reality.
