Bruno Fernandes to AC Milan 'to happen quite easily' after he's left in tears at Man United - expert

Expert Keith Wyness believes Fernandes could leave United for AC Milan next summer, citing his connection with manager Amorim and recent tensions at Old Trafford.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes' future at the club is increasingly uncertain following a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, where he was left in tears after a frosty reception from away fans. The 32-year-old's position has come under scrutiny following a reported spat with manager Michael Carrick.

Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness told Football Insider that Fernandes is likely to depart Old Trafford next summer, with AC Milan emerging as a potential destination. Wyness believes the opportunity to reunite with former United boss Ruben Amorim at Milan would appeal to the Portuguese midfielder. He expects United to invoke Fernandes' contract extension option to preserve his asset value before selling him in the summer transfer window.

Fernandes is currently out of contract at the end of the season, though United hold an option to extend by a further year. Financial expert Stefan Borson has suggested Fernandes could be part of a wider exodus from Old Trafford, with Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford also potentially departing as the club looks to reduce its substantial wage bill.
