Pochettino’s plan for Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United are confident they can agree a new contract with captain Bruno Fernandes, despite his rejection of a second offer this week. Incoming head coach Mauricio Pochettino is expected to make Fernandes central to his plans when he starts work next week. The club views the rejected offers as part of negotiations and expects discussions to continue in the coming months, while people close to Fernandes are considering possible exit options.
