Manchester United are planning talks with captain Bruno Fernandes about his future. Club bosses want to tell the midfielder they intend to keep him at Old Trafford for at least one more year. This comes after close interest from Al Hilal last summer and expected offers at season's end.

United will let the 31-year-old decide his next step, but their preference is to retain their captain during another transitional summer. A new permanent manager will replace Ruben Amorim, and Fernandes is under contract until 2027 with an option for an extra year.

The club seeks an indication of his plans before the World Cup, though Fernandes prefers to decide after the tournament. United's summer budget is largely earmarked for midfield reinforcements like Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, meaning Fernandes would need a replacement if he departs.
