Manchester United are reportedly close to agreeing a new deal with one of the first names on Erik ten Hag’s team sheet despite continued links with Saudi Pro League clubs.
The Red Devils are currently undergoing significant change in Ten Hag’s squad following the formation of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new football operations team, with Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee arriving so far and more expected to follow.
Indeed, deals for Bayern Munich defensive duo Matthijs de Light and Noussair Mazraoui are known to be close as United look to bolster an area of their side that Ten Hag admits is a concern.
However, there has been some concern that skipper Bruno Fernandes could be on the move this summer after reports of continued interest from Saudi Arabia.
The Portugal international moved to Old Trafford in January 2020 and currently has two years remaining on the fresh United deal he penned back in 2022.
During his four-and-a-half years at the club, Fernandes has made over 220 appearances in all competitions, scoring 73 goals and 65 assists.
