Earlier this season, Fernandes said: “From the club I felt it was, ‘If you go it’s not so bad for us’.

“That hurts me a bit… I think they didn’t have the courage to make that decision as the manager (Ruben Amorim) wanted me.”

Now a source told The Sun: “Some of the squad think Bruno has had enough and, to be honest, they don’t blame him.

“He always gives 100 per cent and has been the club’s best player since he joined. But they think that he feels let down under the new ownership model and Amorim leaving has not helped. He isn’t a likely candidate for a big-money move to Saudi because he’s a football purist.

“But no one can doubt from the moment he signed for Manchester United, he has given his all.

“No one wants him to leave — but his team-mates would understand if he did.”
