Pre-season preparations have already begun, with United’s post-season tour taking them to Hong Kong, but the real action is happening behind closed doors.

The club remains open to sales following a dismal 15th-place Premier League finish—its lowest since 1974.
And now, one of the few consistent performers over the last five years could be on his way out.
Bruno Fernandes is seriously considering a blockbuster move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, as per the Laurie Whitwell via The Athletic.
The Manchester United captain has emerged as a top target for the Gulf-based club, who are pushing to complete a £100 million transfer before next month’s FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
Talks have already taken place between Fernandes’s agent, Miguel Pinho, and Al Hilal, with United not ruling out a sale should the right offer arrive.
The club’s hierarchy remains calm, maintaining their stance that every squad member is effectively for sale following the disastrous 2024/25 campaign.
Al Hilal are believed to be prioritising speed in negotiations, wanting Fernandes fully integrated in time for their Club World Cup campaign.

The 30-year-old cast doubt over his future following United’s Europa League final defeat to Spurs, stating the club could look to “cash in” on him.
Fernandes was the team’s top scorer this season with 19 goals and recently picked up the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award for the fourth time in six seasons.
Despite the noise, Bruno Fernandes has remained professional, featuring on the club’s post-season tour while continuing to wear the armband.
Manager Ruben Amorim has made it clear he values the Portuguese playmaker, calling him “the guy who takes responsibility” during difficult moments.
A move to Saudi Arabia would not threaten Fernandes’s place in the national team setup, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruben Neves both maintaining their Portugal roles after similar moves.
With Al Hilal circling and United listening, this could be the final chapter for Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford.
