If You Leave Man Utd, Bruno Fernandes Can Join Barcelona

JAKARTA - Midfielder Bruno Fernandes should move to Barcelona if he wants to leave Manchester United. At Barca, he can play in the position he likes as an attacking midfielder.

Fernandes was forced to be sacrificed when Man Utd signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Both are the first choices to play behind the striker.

Only manager Ruben Amorim will not back Fernandes. However, this Portugal national team midfielder was eventually pulled back to play defensive midfielder. As a result, he often duets with Casemiro or Patrick Dorgu.

Fernandes' change in position was actually carried out after he turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Fernandes chose to stay at Old Trafford. Moreover, the club also did not want to release the 31st player.

However, Fernandes no longer occupies his special position. Moreover, Cunha or Ahmad Diallo and Mbeumo started a patent with a 3-4-2-1 scheme that could turn into 3-4-3 which has been the mainstay of the Amorium.

Former Barca midfielder Gaizka Mendieta said Fernandes could return to his favorite position if he moved to LaLiga Spain by defending the Blaugrana. Mendieta, who also played at English club Middlesbrough while still competing in the Premier League, said Barca remained open to accepting players over 30.

Just look at Ilkay Gundogan. He came to Barca when he was 30. So there is no problem with age if Bruno Fernandes wants to move [to Barca]," the Minister of Industry was quoted as saying by The Sun.

"He's a talented player and has the ability he needs to achieve success at LaLiga. And he's the captain of Manchester United," he said.

The problem is that he is no longer playing in his usual position. This could affect him to leave. I said why he didn't go to LaLiga, and in particular joined Barca," said the former Spanish national team player.

According to the Mendieta, players really like challenges by playing in different leagues and want to win trophies. Because it's time for Fernandes to try out the possibility of playing in Spain.
