Man United braced for fresh Bruno Fernandes transfer swoop from relentless suitors
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is reportedly being targeted again by Saudi Pro League clubs. Despite interest from abroad, United is working to extend his contract following his successful 2025/26 season.
Why it matters
The ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League in top-tier European talent continues to influence transfer market dynamics and player retention strategies.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is on the radar of the Saudi Pro League again, a new report has outlined.
Fernandes is currently in the final year of his United contract, which has unsurprisingly sparked some debate over his future.
He enjoyed a fairytale 2025/26 season, leading from the front as United finished third and secured Champions League football under Michael Carrick.
Fernandes shattered the Premier League assist record that was previously held by Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry . He created a mind-boggling 21 assists, while also supplying nine goals. He picked up United's Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for a record fifth time, and he also took home the FWA Footballer of the Year award back in May.
Last month, Fernandes was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year. The United ace has also been shortlisted for the 2026 Ballon d'Or prize.
