I will like to Join Man Utd on one condition – Man Utd ready to make huge transfer decision after Shock Cole Palmer decision and Bruno Fernandes stance

Manchester United have been linked with a shock move for Cole Palmer at a time where their captain, Bruno Fernandes, is understood to be considering his long-term future

Bruno Fernandes is reportedly thinking about his future at Manchester United once more, less than a year after he was courted by Saudi Pro League teams.

Back in the summer, Saudi Arabian clubs expressed considerable interest in signing the Red Devils skipper.

The Portugal international even expressed that he felt “hurt” by the club’s management since he thought they were attempting to sell him.

His contract is set to expire in 2027, with the option to extend it for an additional year, so interest in him is virtually assured once more. Additionally, Fernandes is aware that he is now eligible for his final significant contract paycheck at the age of 31.

United’s bosses were willing to cash in last summer and while that stance seems to have softened, it could take making him one of the club’s best players on around £400,000-a-week to convince him to stay, as Mirror Football revealed on Monday.

The prospect of cashing in on Fernandes comes with the huge caveat that he remains, by some distance, the team’s best player. And he’s showing no signs of slowing down, either. Make no mistake, replacing a player of his immense quality

Signing a player of Cole Palmer’s quality, though, would help significantly soften the blow of Fernandes leaving if that does come to pass.

The Chelsea playmaker, who has grown into one of the Premier League’s deadliest attacking midfielders, is said to be unsettled at Stamford Bridge and open to a return to the North West. The Sun claim the 23-year-old would even ‘welcome’ interest from United, who he supported in his youth.

A deal for Palmer would likely not come cheap given he is contracted until 2033. But there is the prospect that the club could fund such a move by sanctioning a large sale, such as Fernandes.
