From the source
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up whether to sell Bruno Fernandes next summer rather than risk losing their captain for nothing when his current contract expires.
Fernandes is tied to Old Trafford until June 2027, although United retain an option to extend that deal by another 12 months. That clause gives the club an important safety net and could become central to how they handle one of the biggest decisions of their 2027 transfer planning.
According to the Daily Mail, United are considering whether to negotiate fresh terms, trigger the one-year extension or cash in on Fernandes before his value drops further.
