Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his belief that Bruno Fernandes will remain at the club despite recent transfer rumors. Speculation had suggested that Fernandes was among the players being transfer-listed by United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. However, Ten Hag has dismissed these claims, stating that Fernandes is happy at the club.
“I know he is very happy to be here,” Ten Hag said. “Taking responsibility is one of the greatest assets top players have to show and deliver. Bruno is always available, he never misses a match and always plays at a good level and always gives energy to a team.”
Ten Hag also praised Fernandes for his fighting spirit and dedication to the team. He cited an example from last year’s FA Cup semi-final against Brighton, where Fernandes played despite having a swollen ankle.
“Bruno is a real fighter,” Ten Hag added. “Last year, for example, when we played against Brighton in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, he played with an ankle that was so thick it was unbelievable. Bruno is a very good example for other players.”
The manager’s comments come as a reassurance to Manchester United fans who may have been concerned about Fernandes’ future at the club. With his consistent performances and leadership qualities, Fernandes has become a key figure in the team and a fan favorite.
It remains to be seen whether any concrete offers will materialize for Fernandes in the upcoming transfer window. However, as Ten Hag’s words suggest, it seems highly unlikely that United would be willing to let go of their star midfielder.
