Bruno Fernandes addresses speculation surrounding his future after stunning display vs. Newcastle | OneFootball

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has addressed suggestions that he could leave the club during the summer transfer window after the 3-2 win against Newcastle.

United clinched all three points courtesy of goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund.

Fernandes was brilliant on his return from injury and capped his performance with an assist for Hojlund’s late strike, which sealed the win for the Reds.

Against Newcastle, Fernandes highlighted his importance to the team and why club bosses would be making a massive mistake by even considering parting ways with him.

He has been heavily linked to Saudi Pro League outfits and also clubs in Europe including Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

However, a recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Fernandes is likely to stay at Old Trafford after a meeting he held with the top brass.

The 29-year-old has now confirmed that unless United look to actively get rid of him, his desire is to remain at the club and help restore it to its past glories.

He said on Sky Sports, “I will be here as long as the club still wants me and wants me to be part of the future.”

The playmaker remarked about United’s campaign, “Obviously the job isn’t finished yet. We still have one game in the Premier League then the biggest game of the season, the FA Cup final.”

“It has been a tough season. The table shows that and we are all aware of that. The fans have been amazing and behind us all season. We all appreciate what they have been doing for us.”

“We want to do better and do differently and they [fans] deserve that. They have been amazing for us and we had to do something, we have been trying but results don’t show that. We have been working hard and everyone has been giving their best it is not enough and we have to do more.”

He explained that his display against Eddie Howe’s men was not anything special and at the end of the day, the team pulled through together.

“It doesn’t exist, a captain’s performance, it is a team performance.”

“I am no different from anyone just because I have the armband. I always try my best and we always do the best we can for the club – nobody hides that we play for a big club and we have to lift our standards every game.”

All attention for United now shifts towards their match against Brighton on the final day of the season on Sunday. There is then the small matter of an FA Cup final at Wembley vs. Manchester City.
