From the source

Milan are monitoring Bruno Fernandes’ situation at Manchester United, with Ruben Amorim hoping for a reunion with his former captain. According to Calciomercato.com, the Portugal midfielder’s relationship with the club has broken down, and he could push for a January exit.

Fernandes was left on the bench for United’s weekend defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford. That came after he publicly criticised the club following their 4-1 Champions League loss to Como, saying United focus too much on their past glories instead of looking to the future.

Michael Carrick, who is himself under growing pressure, publicly disagreed. Fernandes’ contract runs until June 2027, and talks over an extension have stalled. United have the option to extend his deal by a further year, which they could trigger to avoid losing him for free and secure a fee instead.
