Overview
- Multiple outlets report Bruno Fernandes has no intention of leaving in January despite Saudi interest, with Fabrizio Romano saying there is nothing concrete on a move.
- Journalist Ben Jacobs reports United have informed suitors they value Fernandes at over £60m for the summer; his contract runs until 2027.
- Saudi clubs Al‑Hilal, Al‑Ittihad and Al‑Nassr continue to monitor Fernandes, and Cristiano Ronaldo contacted him in the summer, but no January bid is expected per reports.
- United are in discussions with Harry Maguire over an extension that would likely require a pay cut or performance‑based terms, with conflicting reports placing his current wage at about £140k–£190k per week.
- The club triggered a one‑year option on Maguire’s deal in January to 2026; he has a leadership role under Ruben Amorim but is not a regular starter this season.
