Manchester United could face a battle on their hands to keep Bruno Fernandes with Real Madrid readying a bid for their club captain, according to reports. It has been a hugely disappointing season for United, but Fernandes is one of few to emerge with credit in the bank for his performances.

The transfer news will have already spread anxiety through the Manchester United fanbase. Bruno Fernandes, whose form has been critical to Ruben Amorim ’s side despite their erratic campaign, is being linked with a £90million move to Real Madrid.
