Bruno Fernandes 'responds to new Man United offer' before Mauricio Pochettino announcement
Summarised by MatchPal
Bruno Fernandes has rejected a new Manchester United contract as Pochettino prepares to take over as head coach.
Bruno Fernandes has turned down a new deal with Manchester United ahead of Mauricio Pochettino's expected appointment as head coach. The timing comes as United sacked Michael Carrick on Thursday following a disastrous run of form that has left the club 18th in the Premier League with just one win from ten matches — the club's worst start to a season in 40 years.
Pochettino is expected to be named as Carrick's successor imminently, with the Argentine set to leave his role with the US national team. His appointment will cost United around £7.4 million due to a release clause in his contract, plus a further £1.5 million to bring his coaching staff.
Fernandes' rejection of new terms raises uncertainty over whether the midfielder will remain at the club under Pochettino's management.
