Bruno Fernandes Alert

Laps with Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford. Not all Manchester United efforts are focused on sealing new additions, ensuring the continuity of its password for many years. The renewal of the offensive Portuguese midfielder, general captain since he was signed from Sporting in January 2020, seemed on track, but has taken a turn in recent dates to the point of being frozen.

The problem is not the numbers, explains the Mirror, which would revolve around the 350,000 euros per week, more than 18 million per year, but a request transferred to the bosom of United by the player's representative, Miguel Pinho. Always as detailed in the British newspaper, Pinho requested the inclusion of a termination clause for his represented, something not usual in the Premier League. In Manchester they flatly refused and this leaves the negotiation in limbo at the moment.

Bruno has started the season as usual, with the front sight perfectly calibrated. Against Leeds, he welcomed the course with a hat-trick that sealed the win for Bielsa's men (5-1) and, incidentally, remind the newcomers that in the Theater of Dreams there is a king with no intention of abdicating. And it is that, with the three goals scored Peacocks, they are already 43 goals, accompanied by 25 assists, which has been scored with the elastic red devil. All this in just 83 games.

That the renewal is frozen does not mean that the negotiation will not come to fruition. And less so now that United seems to take the right course once and for all. What's more, the '18' was important in the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. “Agent Bruno?”, posted on Instagram. Now it will have to be understood with the one from Madeira, something that with Portugal they have not achieved so far.

But United's Bruno is another. With the national team he has only accumulated five goals, while in Manchester he has turned Old Trafford into his private garden. Hence it turns out difficult to imagine a United without the presence of Maia. Although in football there is nothing written and if the conversations for the renewal extend, it will not take long for sirens to appear ready to twist melodies that confuse our protagonist …
