Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly willing to approve the sale of club captain Bruno Fernandes next summer as part of a sweeping overhaul of the squad. The 31-year-old Portugal midfielder, a central figure at Old Trafford since 2020, could be moved on to generate funds for a new midfield core as Amorim continues reshaping the team in his own image.

United are said to be targeting three dynamic young midfielders: England internationals Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace and Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest, as well as Brighton’s highly rated Cameroonian talent Carlos Baleba. All three players fit Amorim’s vision of a faster, more press-resistant and vertically aggressive midfield capable of transforming United’s tempo and identity on the pitch.

With major decisions looming and the club’s long-term rebuild gathering speed, could parting ways with Fernandes become the defining move of Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news
