JAKARTA - Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes' teammates believe his surprise interview may pave the way for his departure from Old Trafford.

Fernandes claimed that the Manchester United Board of Directors were willing to sell him to Al Hilal (Saudi Pro League) during the summer of this year and admitted that the attitude made him feel hurt.

The Portuguese ultimately turned down the lucrative offer, but has a £57m release clause in his contract that could be activated by a foreign club next summer.

The Bundesliga giant, Bayern Munich, is known as a big admirer of Fernandes.

Launching TalkSPORT, there is a feeling in the Manchester United dressing room that this season could be Fernandes' last season at the club.

Fernandes is under contract until 2027 with a one-year extension option. As the Red Devils plan to overhaul their midfield, selling the 31-year-old would generate a much-needed transfer fee.
