Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has already been linked to a move away from Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old Portuguese international midfielder has been United’s best player since his arrival from Sporting Lisbon in the winter transfer window, which is certainly not a very difficult achievement.
However, he was substituted at half-time during United’s 6-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the final game before the international break.
There have been stories suggesting that Fernandes retired when he faced his teammates for another abysmal performance, although Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted the decision was a tactical one. Which, if you think about it, is so indefensible, since taking out your best player is rarely an effective tactical move.
United face Newcastle United on Saturday night and there is no indication that Fernandes will be eliminated, and midfielder Paul Pogba is expected to re-line up despite his own stinking efforts. In fairness to Pogba, the same could be said for the rest of the team, so it’s good to see them all collectively urging themselves to their own standards, even if they’re idiots.
Now The Sun has suggested that Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in taking Fernandes out of United’s hands, which would be quite funny.
However, the Spanish parties have little cash on hand after the impact of the coronavirus and it is difficult to see how United would ask for less than around £ 100 million. Donny Van der Beek’s arrival was supposed to be a sensible way to buy a cheap replacement for Pogba ahead of time, but at this rate it looks like they’ll have to get three. One to replace Fernandes, one to replace Pogba. , and another to replace outgoing Nemanja Matic who, let’s be honest, will be retiring in a year or two.
