Manchester United Fans React to Reports Bruno Fernandes Is in Talks with Bayern Munich

• Manchester United fans all said the same thing after rumours of Bruno Fernandes planning an exit strategy from the club
• On Sunday, reports were rife that the Portuguese midfielder’s agent was in talks with German giants Bayern Munich
• Fernandes has been one of Manchester United’s best players since signing for the club from Sporting CP in 2020

Manchester United fans expressed concern that the team would be ‘finished’ if Bruno Fernandes left the club in the summer.

The midfielder faces an uncertain future at United, who look set to make major changes to the squad in the coming months.

One of the 29-year-old’s plausible destinations is Bayern Munich, with Portuguese outlet O Jogo reporting on Sunday, June 2 that Fernandes’ agent Miguel Pinho was in touch with the German giants.

Only weeks ago, Fernandes threw his future at United in doubt, saying he would make a concrete decision after the Euro 2024.

In a piece for the Players’ Tribute, Fernandes wrote:

"I just want my expectations to fit with the expectations of the club.”

"If you go talk to any fan, they will tell you the same thing. We want to compete for the league.

"We want to be playing Champions League football. We want to be in cup finals. That is the standard.

"That is what I want. That is what you all deserve."

Bayern have already raided the Premier League for talent after appointing former Burnley tactician Vincent Kompany as the club’s new coach.

"If this happens Manchester United is finished and have to restart it all together."

@Charlesmufc_01

"If Bruno leaves, it'll be a significant setback for our team's ambitions."

@UtdManjo

"No way our best player is leaving."

@OlagRemi

"If Bruno leaves this club Ineos should just tag themselves as failures at United already because I don’t understand what they are doing."

"If Man United sell Bruno, then Sir Jim Ratcliffe is officially a Glazer and an enemy of Manchester United fans."

Can Fernandes move to Bayern?

It is not difficult to picture Fernandes at Bayern Munich.

After surrendering the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern are in dire need of a squad revamp to reclaim their lost glory.

The Bavarians are not known for splashing crazy amounts of money for signings, but the club has proven capable of spending enough on the right players. This was evident when the club paid £100m for Harry Kane last summer, per Transfermarkt.

Fernandes’ quality is evident, and Bayern is fully capable of making a bid similar to that of Kane for the midfielder.
