Although Manchester United’s official stance is that Bruno Fernandes is not for sale, the club’s management is aware that he is about to turn 32 and his form may soon start to decline.
Sources at CaughtOffside suggest that the dip in form of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah this season is a cause for concern, following his 33rd birthday.
They explained that Manchester United do not want to find themselves in a similar situation to Liverpool with Salah.
A source said: “Some United officials believe this year could be the right time to sell Fernandes, but this is a very difficult deal, just as it would have been if Liverpool had decided not to keep Salah at the same time last year.”
The source added: “There is also Fernandes himself, who knows he will receive huge offers from Saudi clubs, so even if the club wanted to keep him, they might see no point in trying to force a player whose mind is set on other offers.”
