Bruno Fernandes names his preferred destinations if he leaves Manchester United

Bruno Fernandes named three destinations he would like to experience if he leaves Manchester United, according to previous comments he made to Canal 11: the Spanish league, Italy and a return to Portugal.

Fernandes said he aspired to experience the Spanish league and compete for major titles in Italy, where he has personal ties to the country. He also said he had considered returning to Portugal, with Sporting as his first choice. He explained that he wanted to add achievements to his previous record with the club, not detract from it, and also spoke about the possibility of playing local regional football at a later stage in his life.

Fernandes came close to leaving United for Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2025, when he was linked with Al Hilal, but decided to stay after discussions with his family and then-manager Ruben Amorim. The report said he would enter the final six months of his contract in January and had rejected a second renewal offer, while negotiations were expected to continue. Before joining United in January 2020, he played in Italy for Novara, Udinese and Sampdoria, then made his mark with Sporting in Portugal.
