Michael Carrick sends subtle Bruno Fernandes message to INEOS after Fabrizio Romano reveals ‘serious proposals’ Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick has emphasized the significance of Bruno Fernandes to the club, sending a message to co-owners INEOS amid ongoing speculation about the attacking midfielder’s future. Fernandes, 31, has been a consistent performer for the Red Devils, contributing both goals and assists across multiple managers. His recent display in a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace highlighted his value, as he scored a penalty and assisted Benjamin Sesko’s goal, helping United move up to third in the Premier League. Fernandes’ performance against Palace marked a milestone, making him the third player in Man Utd history to reach over 100 goals and 100 assists, following Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs. The Portuguese star is set to face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Wednesday, with his season tally of seven goals and 14 assists already impressive. Carrick praised Fernandes’ impact, stating in a pre-match press conference that the player’s contributions “sum up Bruno as a character” and that his place in club history is “irrelevant” to him. Despite his importance, Fernandes’ future remains uncertain. The player is under contract until the summer of 2027, with an option for an additional year. While he has previously turned down offers from Saudi Pro League clubs, Fabrizio Romano reported that interest from Saudi teams persists. Romano noted that Fernandes received “serious proposals” from Al-Hilal, including “very big offers,” during the 2023 transfer window. The midfielder chose to stay at Old Trafford, prioritizing his role in helping the club succeed. Romano emphasized that financial considerations are not the primary factor in Fernandes’ potential departure.#manchester_united #michael_carrick #fabrizio_romano #bruno_fernandes #ineos
