Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Manchester United places the young Turkish star Kenan Yildiz high on its list as a potential option to replace Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes, in case the latter decides to leave the team during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The newspaper explained that United’s management is closely monitoring Yildiz’s development, given the impressive performances he has been delivering with Juventus, where he is seen as one of the most promising emerging talents in European football capable of playing attacking and playmaking roles.

This interest comes as part of proactive moves by Manchester United in anticipation of possible major changes in midfield, especially amid growing speculation about Bruno Fernandes’s future, despite his ongoing contract with the club.

La Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out that any official move will remain linked to Juventus’s stance on letting go of their young player, in addition to Bruno’s final decision regarding his future with the “Red Devils.”
