Lukaku is not the type of player that can play in English premier league,and be a good player,he has tried that two times and ended up being a flop.I believe Chelsea won't want him at all,they would make sure they try to offload him by all means,even if Napoli don't get to increase their offer for him,I am quite sure Chelsea will come down to accept that 15 million they priced for him.I don't really like Lukaku and the way he plays,he can only Excel in other leagues and not England which is more demanding in term of technicality and phisicality.Lukaku cant get upto 15 goals in England despie playing every game the whole of the season in England,so why would they still keep him at the team.Its better they offload him for any price.

So far Manchester United is still evaluating all of ten hag's performance in the last two seasons, ten hag achievement in his first season at Manchester United is certainly quite good but we also can't forget that last season was a transition period from Ralf Rangnick to ten Hag, so indeed last season achievement was not absolute as the result of ten hag hard work,  Because Rangnick has made many changes in the Manchester United squad even though he only serves as interim coach, I think this season is a reference for us to see how Manchester United performs because indeed 80% of the squad that Manchester United currently has is the choice of Ten Hag, in my opinion, Manchester United must really consider carefully before deciding to keep or fire Ten Hag because it will affect the future of the club.

From the statistics you mentioned, of course it indicates that Manchester United has experienced a significant decline, even after recruiting several reliable strikers in the last two seasons they are not able to score better goals than the team that is struggling from the relegation zone this season, Manchester United this season is indeed very slump and they actually get a negative record by recording 13 defeats in season and this is the most defeats ever Manchester United era.

This is natural because Conte likes typical players like Lukaku and he is suitable for the tactics in the game that Conte applies.
€15 million is just the initial offer and I think there will be clarity later because Chelsea are also not using Lukaku's services anymore, especially since the player's performance has really declined now so negotiations will definitely take place and Chelsea can't be too selfish in maintaining the price because that will be detrimental to them.

I think Napoli are realistic, Lukaku is not worth buying at a high price anymore because his quality is not as good as before and Chelsea doesn't use or don't need Lukaku so what Napoli has done with their offer is very correct I think.

I assume the odds might be determined by the performance of this season because Arsenal and Manchester City were compete for race title then they are the strongest candidates to be the champion of next season so i have no wonder if the bookmakers provide low odds for Manchester City and Arsenal and why Liverpool has high odds compared to those teams because before the season near to ended Liverpool have lost their consistency and it makes them failed to gets Premier League title besides that Liverpool has been change the manager so we still don't know they will be able to performing well with Arne Slot or not

About Manchester City most likely they will lost some of important players this summer because some of players just like De Bruyne and Ederson were linked to Saudi Arabia clubs but it's quite interesting to see their performance if these players really leave besides that Guardiola also might be will leave too after this season ended but indeed with their domination at this league Manchester City will always being an champion candidate for each season

Yes, it would be a shame if, for example, Bruno Fernandes was sold by Manchester United this summer. Because as you said, he has a very important role in Manchester United's midfield. The proof is that throughout this season Bruno Fernandes managed to score 10 goals in the Premier League, 2 goals in the Champions League and 3 goals in the FA Cup. Apart from that, Bruno Fernandes also managed to contribute 13 assists for Manchester United in all competitions this season. So in essence there is actually no reason why Manchester United plans to sell Bruno Fernandes. Because if, for example, Bruno Fernandes leaves, I'm sure Manchester United will have great difficulty having a great midfielder like him. Apart from that, Bruno Fernandes' contract at Manchester United is still quite long, namely until 2026. So Manchester United should be happy about this. Because if, for example, Manchester United keeps Bruno Fernandes until his contract expires, I'm sure Manchester United will still be good next season.

So if, for example, Bruno Fernandes survives, Manchester United just needs to improve their front line and back line. So in this summer's transfer market Manchester United will be more economical if they don't sell Bruno Fernandes. Even if Manchester United decides to sell Bruno, it will definitely make a profit and could bring in other expensive players. But the problem is, new players tend not to be guaranteed to be as great as Bruno Fernandes. So the conclusion is that Manchester United would be better off if they didn't sell Bruno Fernandes.

By looking at the performances between Aston Villa and Manchester United this season in my opinion we cannot erase the fact that Unai Emery is better than Erik Ten Hag, they are at the current club in the same year and Erik Ten Hag managed to bring Manchester United to finish in the Champions League zone but not with this season ending in 8th place while Aston Villa since being coached by Unai Emery immediately showed significant changes and did not experience a decline in Unai Emery's second season at Aston Villa unlike Erik Ten Hag who experienced a decline in his second season and the club played inconsistently while Aston Villa was able to play stronger and more consistent than Manchester United.

And if you look at the track record between the two you will see how good Unai Emery is compared to Erik Ten Hag, obviously Unai Emery coaches a mid-table club even though he is at a good level in the Europa League and won many titles there but the Europa League is almost the same as the League Champions and Erik Ten Hag himself has never won this prestigious title and he can only win domestic trophies and not international competitions so I doubt your opinion who doubts Unai Emery's potential.

Finally, people's predictions were coming true since they were talking the possibility for conte to recruit lukaku. Napoli made its initial proposal for Lukaku but it fell far short of Chelsea's asking price and it was not making chelsea feels satisfied with it. Chelsea wants €38 million, but Napoli valued him at €15 million which is farrrrr below the asking price by chelsea. This is far beyond Chelsea's expectations. It is clear that Chelsea is unwilling to sell him; the offer was not even close to what Chelsea desired.

Napoli is a joke. He was thinking that Chelsea sorely needed money right now. Chelsea may be able to give Lukaku another chance to play in the Premier League as they await a suitable offer to deal with. Things have been quite challenging for Lukaku at the moment.
He has been hoping to play for a serie a club, but as you all know, serie a clubs are quite poor. They never had the money to buy him. They were constantly sending nonsense offers.

Its bad side of Bruno Fernandez when playing more egoism and try to show his individual skill than playing as one unity team, but if Manchester United head coach Bruno keep become regular players will fill as attacking midfielder. Actually he has good vision and tactician when playing as attacking midfielder with his incredible make attempt for goals scoring but he must decreasing with egoism prefer his teams mate give them assists if have better opportunity for scoring goals.

About salary payment, Bruno Fernandez receiving around £240,000 per week and its not too huge amount for Manchester United as top teams behind level and consistent perform of Bruno.
Manchester United management still hold on with the future of Erik ten Hag keep hold him or sack him after Manchester United failed finish on top fourth standings position indeed won FA Cup.

Sometimes there are several reasons why the coach should be retained we as viewers can only see from the outside while management can see from all aspects, if management asks the fans of course they want a new coach because in the last few seasons the coach has failed to achieve the best results meaning that opportunities must be given to new coaches. Ten Hag's best achievement was in 2022/2023 while bringing Manchester United to finish in 3rd place but this season the results were really bad, Man United finished in 8th place.

The thing that makes Manchester United even worse is that their statistics for the season are very disappointing only 18 wins from 38 matches, scored 57 goals and conceded 58 goals lol what can we expect from this record everything looked worse. Brentford who finished in 16th place, could score 56 goals meaning that the Man United striker is equivalent to the Brentford striker.

It surprises me how liverpool's odds is quite big compared to the arsenal and manchester city. Still, arsenal has the smaller odds after city and bookies believe they will be as competitive as this season to follow city in the title race. Im hoping city will win EPL again before pep will leave from the premier league.,
Manchester city can win EPL to give a farewell gift for pep and some players that may be leaving next season. It has been rumored that if pep is not keen to extending his contract in manchester city. He may be leaving next season.

De bruyne has been also linked to the saudi pro league move. He has been getting everyting with manchester city. De bruyne may be considernig to join in the saudi pro league caused by he has stated that onw his interview if de bruyne may keen with the big salary offered by saudi pro league club.
He can win the last premier league title with city this season. Im hoping city to have very good performance compared to the last season. They were struggling against arsenal but i hope city can deliver perfect result this season.

I don’t know the basis of this argument but I definitely doubt this, Unai Emery isn’t better than Erik Ten Hag just because he had a better season than him. Comparing the records the only trophy that Emery has won that Ten Hag doesn’t have is Europa league which if we look back at history Erik Ten Hag hasn’t been managing clubs that finish in the Europa league spots except Manchester United. This same Emery we are all talking about managed Arsenal and couldn’t win a thing and had to leave the club. There is certainly pressure that is mounted on a big club manager and not the little expectations that clubs will offer you. But still that doesn’t mean that Emery isn’t a good manager Also but he is not better than Ten Hag

It is possible that Bruno Fernandes suppressed all his anger because he knew that his position was very threatened and was closely monitored by the coach and management of Manchester United. We all know Manchester United is not in good condition. Full of tension within Manchester United. Hopefully the decision made by the coach regarding Bruno Fernandes will not give Manchester United any regrets and will be the right choice. Bruno Fernandes' position at Manchester United is a very important position and not everyone can do this. So Manchester United must really consider the future of Bruno Fernandes.

Unfortunately, Bruno was at Man United and in the end, he was unable to perform optimally. Yes, his performance was bad, just say it was bad. because with a purchase of that size, the performance should be much better, not a little better. especially if you look at the size of the salary. That's really not balanced.

Whether it's because of Ten Hag's inability to optimize himself and position Bruno, or if Bruno himself is apparently unable to adapt well to the club. In short, why is this recorded as the worst purchase with that poor performance.  

But the problem is, Man United is indeed bad in all areas. So, while talking about Bruno's purchase not being worth it, the purchases of several other players are also the same. At least, Bruno made quite a good contribution, and he could be said to be better than the other players.

It is just,,,,
Ah, this will definitely be a special blunder for Man United to keep or let go of Bruno this time.

At least too. Bruno once said this, that he still wants to stay at Man United, but if the club no longer wants him or for certain reasons which are actually very strong, he will move.

Source: Bruno Fernandes

That's why. Man United was blunder and dilemma about this case, still having it. and now, the talking about Bruno still staying at Man United or selling him is still on hot topic of talks.

If the current managers of the club cannot focus on the prospects of the club, they should sell it to those that are interested. This is Manchester United we are talking about and they are not a small team in Europe to joke with considering their past records and achievements in the club. PR is part of it, but should be at the expense of the teams success. Ten Hag might have failed Manchester United but that’s doesn’t make them not to focus on how to make the team better either by signing a new coach or by sighing in new quality players, that’s would have been better for them if they knew.


Bruno Fernandes is the best player Manchester United have currently which despite the poor season by the team, he still made the team shine and be on their ground throughout the season. He has contributed to most of the goals this season for the club and that is something applaudable for him. Anything he wants from the club now, they should be willing to do it in order to keep him for the long time because they can’t afford to lose him in this delicate time now.

When you put out claims like this, try to get your facts right first. Firstly of all you’re wrong for saying Bruno is among the highest paid players in the premier league. First of all he is not even in the top five highest paid players even in Manchester United talk more of the league. Bruno is on a €240,000 per week with the Likes of Casemiro, Rashford, Mount, Sancho and even departed duo Varane and Martial been paid more than him. So asking for a wage increase is something he truly deserves with the amount been payed to this players who have no impact as him.

Also if we talked about Bruno main Transfer fee he definitely has repaid it to Manchester United in folds considering the amount they wasted on other players. Bruno also is not even asking only about the wage increase only, but will also like to know the plans ahead for the club this to me is a good direction again too. He is at his peak now and if he doesn’t win many silverware’s now he wouldn’t be able to win them again. So he needs to be ambitious.

Bruno is also looking at possibilities outside the premier league with the likes of Bayern Munich and Inter Milan the clubs to keen for his signature

I  think he deserves the pay raise in some sense because that is among the only thing making him give his all to a team and a club were most players last inconsistency and the management are so disappointing.

This is usually a common news with Manchester United for over decade now, when a player is really doing well they usually want a pay raise on signing new contract, I guessed that's among their main drive in a club having disappointing management like United.

Please who are you referring to here because I thought Bruno is a Portuguese and I don't think the only club that would be interested in him will be Saudi Arabia though for a higher pay then definitely but I think there are team in Europe who might be willing to give him a pay £240,000 which is what he's currently earning weekly to £300k weekly.

Bruno became well known, as a world-class player when he signed for Manchester United though he was good but he is currently doing better and still proving haters wrong why he is among the best even when his team is too inconsistent to compete foe any major trophy. I think he might be attracted to other top clubs in order to get more worthy trophies than he had and it's obvious he will do well in any club he goes.

But it cannot be denied that for this season Bruno's performance has been a little better when compared to last season.

Bruno's egoism was slightly dampened and it is not uncommon that Bruno has always been a determinant for Madrid in getting points this season so in my opinion Bruno this season is still quite feasible to stay at Manchester United because he is a player who actually has a pretty good vision in playing it's just that his ambition is too big which makes Bruno's level of egoism also increase but seeing for this season it seems like he has started to realize and improve his attitude.

Currently when talking about salary issues I have also read that Bruno is one of the EPL clubs whose salary is the biggest now but with this season's performance I think he is still worth enough to be paid a nominal salary.

Bruno Fernandes at United is like De Bruyne in the City squad, if The Red Devils management plans to sell him in the transfer window, then I would not be surprised that United again failed to get a ticket to the Champions League. Many United legends have spoken out regarding the future of the Portuguese player, and they have asked United not to let him go. Bruno Fernandes has contributed greatly the United in the last few seasons.

If United cannot find a suitable replacement, it would be wiser if Bruno Fernandes is retained. Regarding the salary increase requested, it is a very reasonable thing considering the role assigned to him, as well as his influence in United main squad. Apart from that, it would be a big problem for United if they sold Bruno Fernandes to another Premier League club, fans would criticize the club's policies harshly.

Ten Hag only needs to defend himself, I agree that through his contribution to the team Bruno Fernandes has proven everything, without needing to be defended by anyone. Apart from all that, maybe United wants to get reap big profits by releasing Bruno Fernandes to another club, before his market value is decreasing due to age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand The Red Devils day by day.

In the EPL, Bruno Fernandes is in the top 3 players with the most expensive salaries, but with the results that Manchester United has gotten so far, I think the money Man Utd has spent is not worth it. There is also news circulating that Bruno Fernandes really hopes that Man Utd will extend his contract with a higher value than now, even if Bruno's contract ends (in 2026) he will definitely not go far, he will definitely remain in the EPL but on a different team.

I think your ascertaintions are wrong.

Has Bruno Fernandez had an excellent performance for Manchester United yearly - yes
Has Bruno justified the fee mufc paid for him when he was signed from sporting Lisbon - yes

Is Bruno Fernandez responsible for mufc results for the entire seasons, No - that’s the coach job, Manchester city did not win the league by relying on only debruyne yearly

On a personal note, I truly wish Bruno leaves the ruins at the theatre of dreams for a better team

Fernandes is doing well at Manchester united and I wouldn't blame the fate of Manchester united on him because a single player alone cannot totally get to shoulder the burned of a team on their shoulder all at once, they have still got other players in the team who will collectively get the team successful in their pursuit at the end of the day but because he's a key player with an expensive salary it's normal they would want to throw blames at him even if he tries his best beyond what is currently obtainable in the team.

Extending his contract a d increasing his pay is something I don't think Manchester united can be able to achieve at a time, maybe they can extend his contract but his pay increase is something I doubt if they will be able to make up for currently as it may exert some financial pressure in the team and they may not be able to bear it well enough currently. Fernandes may likely not leave the premier league like you mentioned as he has stayed their long enough and has gotten used to their styles and patterns which may make adoption to other leagues take some time.

The EPL has definitely been a good ground for him a d he's career aswell, he's done so much and has aswell achieved quite a good number of things in the EPL and he's an English player even by nationality so it's a really English blood in him which may not be easily let go because of his long experience and adaptation except for Saudi leagues where they do make go and higher offers , English leagues will still remain his destination.
