£300k-p/w Man Utd star's future in doubt after transfer approach from CR7

da mrbet： A “sensational” Manchester United star’s future is now in doubt, following a direct transfer approach from Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.

Man Utd's rebuild continues despite transfer window ending

da dobrowin： Man United managed to get a number of unwanted players off the books in the summer, namely Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund, and there could now be another departure in the very near future.

There have been widespread reports that Andre Onana is closing in on a move to Trabzonspor, which may be a relief for Ruben Amorim, given that the goalkeeper has received his fair share of criticism.

Perhaps most memorably, Nemanja Matic responded to Onana’s comments that United were “way better” than Lyon, saying: “If you are one of the worst keepers in Manchester United history, you need to take care.

“If David de Gea, Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar said that, I would question myself. But if, statistically, you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Manchester United’s modern history, he needs to show that before he says.”

As such, it seems unlikely that United fans will be too disappointed to see Onana leave, but another potential departure that could be on the cards may be a lot more divisive.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Bruno Fernandes’ future at Old Trafford is in doubt, amid widespread interest from the Saudi Pro League, with Ronaldo even making a direct approach to convince his international teammate to join Al-Nassr in the summer.

Fernandes ultimately opted to remain at Old Trafford, but there is a feeling the attacking midfielder’s future could change soon, and a departure could happen as soon as the January transfer window.

The Red Devils could choose to cash-in on the £300k-a-week attacker, given that they are running out of time to raise serious money from a sale, with unnamed clubs in the MLS and Europe also keen.

"Sensational" Fernandes may be necessary sale for Man Utd

There is no doubt that Fernandes is one of the best signings since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, with the Portugal international now just one goal away from 100 in a United shirt, while also picking up 86 assists in 294 games.

However, Paul Scholes has stated the 31-year-old doesn’t fit into Amorim’s system, saying: “Fernandes for me, he’s someone who fills in as a midfielder, he might get away with it for one, two or three games. He’s not got the discipline to be a central midfield player.”

The former Sporting CP man remained a key player under Amorim last season, being singled out for high praise by journalist Nizaar Kinsella back in May.

However, no player should be shoehorned into a system, so it may be the right time to cash-in on Fernandes, particularly if Man United are able to raise big money from a sale to Saudi Arabia.
