Man United handed Bruno Fernandes price tag warning ahead of predicted exit

Wait 5 sec.

Tony Cascarino does not believe that any Premier League team would pay £60million for Bruno Fernandes.Manchester United are currently in disarray having not won in nine games and are 17th in the table.It was yet another game to forget for Man UnitedGettyAfter their latest defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, former Blues striker Cascarino and Shebahn Aherne discussed potential fees for the current Man United squad.Cascarino used a benchmark fee of £60m, and he doesn’t believe that a single player in Michael Carrick‘s team would command that fee.And that even included Fernandes, who has been the only bright spark for a few years.However, he is in his 30s now and has been in particularly poor form this year.Speaking on Weekend Sports Breakfast with Aherne, Cascarino said: “How many Manchester United players do you think you would get £60million for? “Let’s just use that as a price tag. How many from Old Trafford would you buy for that?“Carlos Baleba has just come for £70m, so it is a bit unfair to put him in.“Would Bruno Fernandes go for £60m? You might from Saudi Arabia, but you wouldn’t from another Premier League team – there is no way that would happen.“I really don’t think a Premier League club would pay it. He’s 32, so would you pay £60m and put him on a huge wage?“I would think absolutely not.Fernandes has even been dropped this yearAFPMichael Carrick has been kept on as manager at Man United despite results getting worseAFP“Has he been a great player for Man United? Yes, he has. He’s had periods where he has dragged the club out of trouble with his goals and his assists.”Fernandes’ futureThis is very possibly the 32-year-old’s final season as a Man United player with his contract due to expire in the summer.The Portuguese international also found himself out of the team after calling out Carrick’s tactics.Como beat Man United 4-1 in the Champions League and following the match, Fernandes questioned the lack of pressing.In the immediate aftermath, the Man United manager didn’t say too much about it, but in the next game against Bournemouth, he left his captain on the bench for the entire game.Carrick was then told he’d be staying on and reconciled with Fernandes and started him at Stamford Bridge only for him to miss an absolute sitter at 0-0.Fernandes’ form has been way off this yearGettyAnd Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda predicts he will leave the club.He joined talkSPORT Breakfast and said: “In my personal opinion, I think it’s coming to an end.“And I really think that’s the best for both because I think first of all, Manchester United must organise their own dressing room.“Even for Bruno Fernandes, I think the best for both is to, let’s say, break this relationship, find a solution, because I think that kind of organisation that Man United needs to make a step back, to make two steps forward, starts with cleaning the dressing room.“I think that a player like Fernandes nowadays, it’s better to not be there, even for him, because I think that Fernandes is in a team that is more established, fighting for big things.“Even for him, it could be much better, because yesterday, for example, it is what it is, but Bruno Fernandes, the position that he had in the Ballon d’Or [27th], for example, it doesn’t reflect the player that he is, the numbers that he has.“And if he plays for another team, I’m sure that Bruno Fernandes easily can be in the top ten players of the world.”
