"Fernandes has been a star performer for Man Utd for many years now, and it wouldn't be easy to replace him, though some fans might feel it's probably about the right time to move on. Is it time for Manchester United to replace Bruno Fernandes? Fernandes is not getting any younger, so to potentially make 100m from a player who'll turn 32 next season seems like a bit of a no-brainer from a business perspective."
"And even if the former Sporting Lisbon man is a world class talent who can provide moments of magic to decide games, it might also be sensible to try to bring in midfielders who fit Ruben Amorim's playing style better. Fernandes' role in Amorim's formation and tactics hasn't always been that clear, and it might help the club to have less of an obvious star in that area of the pitch."
Manchester United have agreed to sell Bruno Fernandes to a Saudi Pro League club for 100m next summer. Parties are waiting for Fernandes to finalise personal terms with his new club. The club plans to reinvest the fee on Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson. Fernandes will turn 32 next season, making a 100m sale a notable business decision. Replacing Fernandes could alter the team dynamic and reduce reliance on a single creative star. Acquiring Baleba and Anderson aims to secure midfielders who fit Ruben Amorim's playing style and balance the squad.
