Fernandes says he'll leave if he feels unwanted at Manchester United amid Bayern links

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has expressed his commitment to staying at Old Trafford as long as the club desires his presence. Speculation surrounding the Portuguese midfielder's future has intensified, with recent reports linking him to Bayern Munich.

Manchester United's failure to secure a spot in the Champions League next season may necessitate player sales to comply with financial sustainability regulations and facilitate a significant squad overhaul during the summer transfer window.

Fernandes, whose contract extends until 2026, stated, "I will remain here as long as the club wants me and sees me as a part of its future. However, if for any reason they no longer desire my services, I will consider other options."

In the midst of these uncertainties, Fernandes played a crucial role in Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Newcastle, keeping their hopes of European qualification through the Premier League alive. Currently sitting in eighth place, Erik ten Hag's team has the opportunity to surpass Newcastle and secure seventh place if they achieve a better result on the final day of the season.

Manchester United will face Brighton on Sunday, while Newcastle will travel to Brentford. Reflecting on the challenging season, Fernandes acknowledged the team's awareness of their position in the table and expressed gratitude towards the fans for their unwavering support.

Despite their efforts, the desired results have not materialized, prompting Fernandes to emphasize the need for greater determination and improvement from the entire team
Even if Manchester United fails to secure a top-seven finish in the Premier League for the first time in the club's history, they still have a chance to qualify for Europe by defeating Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25.

Manager Ten Hag, who has been under scrutiny, is in dire need of a second trophy during his two-year tenure to alleviate concerns about his future heading into the next season.

Following United's final home game of the season, the Dutchman took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support throughout a challenging campaign.

"While this season has been far from easy, one thing has remained constant: your unwavering support for the team," stated Ten Hag.

"Our journey is not yet over. First, we travel to Brighton with the aim of securing three crucial points, and then we head to Wembley. I assure you, our players will give their all to claim that cup and bring it back to Old Trafford.

"We have full confidence that you will be there, supporting us every step of the way. Thank you for being the best supporters in the world!".
