Manchester United is striving to secure the stay of its captain, Bruno Fernandes, after the management clearly informed him of their desire for him to continue and not to open the door for his departure this year.

The club asserts that its stance towards the player is decisive, yet matters remain unresolved due to a release clause in his contract estimated at around 57 million pounds, which is available only to clubs outside of England.

Fernandez is waiting to assess his future during the summer, with his inclination to make his final decision after the end of the 2026 World Cup, putting the management on alert.

Club officials want an early indication from the player before the World Cup begins, as his departure would force them to rebuild the midfield and look for a high-caliber replacement.

Reports from inside "Old Trafford" indicate that the team's performance improvement under Michael Carrick's leadership may play a significant role in convincing the player to stay.

Despite his brilliance, Fernandez has only won two championships during his career with the team, and his appearances in the UEFA Champions League have been limited, which might influence his decision.

It is noted that Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia previously attempted to sign the player with a substantial offer, but it was rejected despite the significant financial incentives presented.
