The latest reports point in the opposite direction. Manchester United are understood to consider Fernandes an important part of their plans for the 2026–27 season, despite transfer interest from clubs including Galatasaray, AC Milan and Juventus. Reports say the club intends to reject approaches for their captain.
Fernandes is also coming off an outstanding campaign. He broke the Premier League assists record during the 2025–26 season, underlining his importance to the team.
Manchester United are entering a new season under manager Michael Carrick, with Fernandes expected to remain an important part of the squad. Recent coverage of United’s midfield continues to discuss Fernandes as one of the team’s key players rather than someone facing dismissal.
